I wouldnt recommend it either...fur instance if you went over your cir when
you were downloadling the IOS and there was congestion on the circuit you
might have some packets marked DE and dropped. A corrupt IOS image would be
loaded on your router after erasing a good one and you are at Rommon prompt
over a distant wan link. But then I am a cup is half empty kinda guy..
