Power Management of Remote Equipment

[TheExcession]

I need to get hold of some kind of 'box' that will allow us to dial into it over a telephone line in order to reset the power on some equipment.

Anyone using anything like this already or got any recomendations?

thanks Graham, APC stuff is usually the dogs danglies - but might need something a bit cheaper.

Sorry guys, shoulda pointed out we need about 250 of these - hence cheap is better.

So far betterbox seem to have the cheapest at around £200 - trouble is it looks abit of a toy - still, you get what you pay for.

We use a Baytech RPC-3 but I can't remember how much we paid for it.
Rack mounted and you can log onto it using TELNET.
Never had a problem with it since we put it in.

A bit of advice. Watch out for what you are plugging in to it. We had to get some very short extension leads made because there wasn't enough space to put 2 transformer type plugs next to each other.
