Right now we have X10 plugs that could be used to power-cycle but X10 has no state feedback. I started a project through tetalab Toulouse hackerspace to build something better: http://wiki.tetalab.org/index.php/TetaPlug On the IP KVM side I was thinking of using a non-IP KVM with LCD monitor+ USB webcam to get the VGA output in IP form and using a Calao USB-A9263-C02 board (which has 1 USB device port, 2 USB host ports and one ethernet port) to emulate a keyboard with IP control. But nothing really done here so all is quite open, ideas and suggestions welcomed :).
