   Thanks for all the suggestions.  The only thing that came close to
what I wanted was the APC MasterSwitch.

   Good Points:
1. The system can be completely controlled over the serial console.
2. The outlets average just slightly less than one per rack unit.
3. Each outlet can be individually controlled.
4. Definable user accounts with passwords, md5 hash or plaintext.

   Bad Points:
1. The serial port is fixed at 2400 baud.
2. The interface is menu based.  This can be overcome with a little
   bit of expect scripting.
3. It ships with racking hardware to mount it horizontally in a 19"
   rack.  Mounting it vertically will require a custom mounting
   solution.  Just one more reason that everyone should have a metal
   shop.

Paul
