Everything looked good. They were up and running on the DHCP WAN (ether1) and I had the DSL WAN (ether2) setup and logging into the ISP successfully.
I then added the OVPN client interface and made up a username and password for it, pretty much defaults except for the username and password. I don't remember if I had to choose IP vs Ethernet tunnel type. I chose IP if I had to choose something. I did not have the username and password configured on the server yet.
I later opened the settings dialog for the ovpn-client interface and tried to change the profile to default-encryption. Something happenned. Maybe I lost the network connection. Ever since then Winbox shows the interfaces and ppp windows with "Error: Timed out" .
Running /int print works, but is slow.
Running /ppp print works, but is slow.
/int ovpn-client print takes approximately 10 minutes.
Code: Select all

I've been trying to delete the pppoe-client and ovpn-client interfaces to try to calm down the ppp process. Doesn't work. Just times out and tells me to send in the supout file. I did. Haven't heard back yet. [Ticket#2011082666000811]
I have upgraded it to routeros-mipsbe-5.6.npk with no change in behavior. I will try to go back to 4.17 after local business hours. /
Any ideas for how to recover the unit to a useful state without resetting the config completely?
