I have an application at a remote site where I send data over a WAN to a PC,
which then talks to a PIC interface controlling various bits of equipment.

Since PC's occasionally crash, I've put in a telephone-operated switch on
the power feed to the PC.

Problem is, I've just realised that cycling the power in this way means the
PC won't boot up (since the front power button needs to be cycled after a
mains reset).

Any suggestions?

I'm thinking maybe of another pic that delays a bit then closes a relay
contact across the power jumper on the motherboard....
