there's also a pager-based version for about $500 out there from a small company in Colorado, i forget the name. Nightwind or something like that
a better solution would be to replace that Linksys with a Cisco AP which will almost never hang up under normal use. better yet, check that your Linksys has the latest firmware

I've been thinking lately to cycle the power on my machines while I'm away (My Linksys often locks up, making the whole network inaccessible from the outside. Google posts and personal experience show just recycling gets it working again...)
A couple devices let you power on and off a machine simply by calling in and typing in a code. FYI, Here's the one's I've found.
Consumer (X10 --$55.95): http://www.smarthomeusa.com/Products/default.asp?Product=x10pro/TR16A
Industrial (DATAPROBE $275) http://www.dataprobe.com/power/ppal.html
Has anyone on list tackled this issue before? Does anybody know some better choices for a phone-based remote controller?
Thanks in advance.
