The APC and Western Telematic devices work fine. Just plug them into
the PDU, then your devices into them. I've used the 8-port rack-mount
models, but I remember that WT makes a 2-port small unit. Then you
can telnet or ssh in and power-cycle your equipment.

Thanks people,
Actually, we also use these PDU's and I did not think of it. Unfortunately,
this server is mounted inside a rack supplied by the data centre owner. I
can't just replace the whole PDU and we only pay for a portion of the rack.
I was looking for something small and relatively cheap.
The below is what I have found so far...

Hi hobbit users,
We have a gsm modem hooked up to a hobbit server. It actually resides
offsite in another data centre. Today, the modem locked up and I now
need to
travel to the site to power the thing off and on.
has anybody experience with some sort of device that can do this
remotely?
ideally, I would love to have some sort of black box that plugs into the
usb
port of my linux based hobbit server. If we detect that the modem has
stopped working, we can send some sort of signal to switch the power off
and
then back on...
APC do rack mountable ones that have both web interfaces and a
telnet/SSH interface. The ones we use have 8 power sockets, each
individually switched.
