There are glorified power strips that have ethernet connectivity and the
ability to use simple protocols like telnet to get in and toggle the power
to each outlet on the strip or the entire strip.  I don't have a reference,
but I know these exist and can be quite useful.  If you can't find
something on google, let me know and I'll see if I can find more detail.
