[TriLUG] OT: intelligent power supplies

[Brian Daniels]

I do it with an x10.com "Firecracker" interface.  It's a little serial 
dongle that sends x10 signals to a wall-mounted receiver.  The receiver has 
a switchable outlet, and can send signals to other x10 modules.

Under Linux you can control it with a software package known as 
bottlerocket.  http://mlug.missouri.edu/~tymm/

I use it with a script that power-cycles my adsl modem if I lose my net 
connection for too long.

Question with boldness even the existence of a god;
because if there be one he must approve of the
homage of reason more than that of blindfolded fear.
