USA Communications Corp 493-9 Johnson Ave. Bohemia, New York 11716 (516) 244-6851 The model 450 is what I discuss here. Sorry I don't have a price, I think it was in the $300 range, but I could be way off either way. It's a box that looks like those under-the-monitor power control consoles with 5 outlets on the rear, and 6 switches (one for each outlet, and one master), but it has a pair of phone jacks in the back. A phone line goes into one of them, and the other can go to a phone or whatever, though I don't know if the whatever can take calls (I think so, but we use dedicated phone lines to avoid busies). You can then use any phone to call into the box, give a 4 digit security code, then the 5th digit tells the console which of the 5 outlets to power cycle (power stays off for about 15 seconds).
