Wouldn't "ILO" technology which is standard on hp or ibm
commercial server's
do the trick ?

i am looking for a device that would let me reboot my
remote server in case it becomes unresponsive. the
server is hosted at a private company far-far away.
we are talking about off-the-shelf, "noname" pc
servers, so i am not looking for anything fancy.
seeing the console is a plus, but i can live without
that. and of course it should work with openbsd :]
any success stories more than welcome.

A KVM/IP could do the trick but in some case, for example kernel panic,
you will be stuck I think.
is it not possible to reboot if ddb.panic=1 ?
Another solution available (if you have two servers near by) could be to
redirect consoles to serial ports
nope, just one box
Intel AMT / vPro could help too but I guess this "noname" server doesn't
have that kind of technology.
i am also looking into IPMI, as my current server
is rather old, and i may end up buying a new machine.
Maybe you could take a look at something which seems called "Network AC
Power Controller".
very interesting but looks rather pricey.
