What I am looking for is a way to call a phone number that will turn
the power of a computer off, then back on.  The reason I need this is
we have a computer set up for remote logins to our Novell Network -
we are running Close Up.  The computer likes to hang sometimes, rendering
it useless until someone can go and manually cycle the power.  This is
fine during the work day, but on nights and weekends it is unbearable.

If anyone knows of any device (hopefully inexpensive) that can do this, I
would greatly appreciate it.  Also, if you can think of a better newsgroup
to post to, please let me know, because I had no idea where to put this note.


                                         Thanks in advance,
                                                    andy
