[asterisk-users] Asterisk to switch on electric heaters remotely?

[Roberto Piola]

we're using a Damocles Mini
(http://www.hw-group.com/products/damocles/damocles_mini_en.html). of
course, the damocles will have to drive a high-power relay.

the damocles can be driven via snmp, so you'll have to simply call the
snmpset unix standard utility
