If you have an old APC UPS that you aren't using or doesn't work, you can
check out APC's Trade-UPS program and get a Master Switch for a pretty
decent discount.

Thanks,

Eric

There are several. We have an APC switch that is great, but not cheap. It
knows what serial and network connections are and has a nice rack mount.

If you have an extra phone line, www.x10.com has a telephone responder
that can control X10 modules that go inline with the power. The user calls
it and issues ToucnTone(tm) commands to command it. Easily handles 16
hosts, but they have to be on the same UPS.

Hope this helps - Jy@
