Will the WOL devices on most network cards work? I know they can turn a
machine on, but I not sure if they can reboot it. If the system has not gone
down completely you can always set it up so you can ssh into the machine and
reboot it remotely. The other thing I can think of is that I know there are a
number of home automation programs that let you turn lights on on/off, etc. I
even saw one guy who let you turn his x-mas lights on and off via the web. You
could set something like this up which would cut the power to the machine and
they turn in back on again. You may have to use WOL once the machine has power
off.
Good luck,
Jesse
