You also missed the point - we were talking about remote administration
at a collocation facility.   Perhaps you are Reed Richards and can push
the power button by extending your arm across the city...

My server has a button on the front that you can push to power cycle the

machine even if the OS is down.

Sorry, couldn't resist.  :-)

Reminds me of the time I walked into an office with some of my
co-workers 
and there  was  a woman there plugging away at an electric typewriter.
I 
said, "Wow, look at this! It's like a keyboard and printer all in one. 
Where'd you get that?"
