Subject: [EE]: Cycling power remotely on an ATX PC


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....
