[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk server with remote monitoring capabilities

[Max Clark]

Maya,

Where are you colocated? Remote reboot is something that we offer our 
customers standard with the rack space.

I have found the Baytech products to be fantastic for remote 
reboot/remote serial access. You might want to look for something like 
this: http://www.baytech.net/products/showprod.php?prod=DS2-RPC 
(DS2-RPC) that offers both power switching and serial control in a 1U 
form factor. It's a must have for remote systems.
