Following on this thread . . . Has anyone implemented a dtmf -based power switch?
I have a situation where I'm remote from the AstLinux installation and manage it over the net. If the Internet connection drops at the remote site - for whatever reason - someone has to reboot. I can still call-in over the pstn so it should be straight forward to set up an extension (with authentication) which calls "reboot" - we're running as root after all ;-) But, I need to reboot the external modem. . . Does anyone know a "black box" that can be called from a telephone and controlled using dtmf to switch a relay? I suppose the alternative is to put a dsl card in the box (a PC). What dsl card are "people" using? (Europe, POTS) All input gratefully received. Thanks. -Graham S.

(and "The power is back.") voice message to a predefined phone number using 'apcupsd' as the trigger. Maybe even monitor the status of the UPS via voice prompts.
