asterisk users - Jun 2005 - Asterisk server with remote monitoring capab ilities

We have two Baytech RPC3 remote power switches(8 outlets each), they are
great, you can telnet into them and reset ports as needed. I even setup one
of them to be controlled by an AGI script on our Asterisk servers to cycle
power over the phone. Saved countless hours of driving. APC makes them too
although they are more expensive.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk server with remote monitoring
capabilities


Hello, all.

I'm tired of having to drive out to the colocation
facility each time my dedicated asterisk server craps
out, just to press the button to do a hard reboot.
(I'm running 1.05 stable at present, no telephony
hardware, as this is mainly a system that receives
calls, no dial-out ability is needed.) 

I've been looking at the fancy xeon-based systems
listed on ebay for a couple of hundred dollars, in the
hope that some of them have remote reboot
capabilities, but most of the sellers don't mention
this ability, and by the time I send out email, the
item is already taken anyway. :)

So, to cut the long story short, has anyone used one
of these server-class machines with remote reboot
capability, and does it really help? Are there any
particular configurations to stay away from? 

The wiki doesn't talk specifically about issues
regarding dual-CPU machines, but in following the chat
here on asterisk-users, it seems there are definitely
issues there ... can anyone elaborate? I don't want to
spend money on a fancy system that turns out to be
useless for my purposes.

Thanks for any insight!

Cheers,
Maya
