Remote power reboot

[Stephen Ronan]

While having some troubles with remote DSL modems occasionally losing 
sync, I'm trying to check out power supplies/switches that support 
remote rebooting or automated rebooting driven by ping results when the 
device attempts to ping other devices. These three looked particularly 
interesting:

Digital Loggers, Inc.
Web Power Switch
http://www.digital-loggers.com/lpc.html
(no telnet as of 2/07)
(about $150)

Synaccess
Netbooter NP-02
http://www.synaccess-net.com/products.php?id=np02
(about $200)


Dataprobe
iBOOT
http://dataprobe.com/products/power/iboot/index.html
(about $235)

I was leaning toward the first of those possibilities for situations 
where telnet wouldn't add much value and the second in situations where 
telnet would be especially useful (e.g., in a Roofnet mesh network where 
I could reach the power switch via another gateway, hopping through 
Roofnet nodes via ssh/telnet). But I was surprised to find last night 
that the online store cites $80+ for shipping from CA to MA. I'm hoping 
that's a mistake.

I'd be interested to know if any of you have had experience with such 
devices and have experience/recommendations to share?

   Thanks,
Stephen Ronan
