To be honest the boss doesnt want any work done so he doesnt want the place to be rebuilt (or different circuits putting in). We are looking primarily at plugging a couple of extension sockets into one wall outlet, and have that respond. unfortunately we get a lot of "cold calls" to the building (god knows how they got the number as the place is nion always deserted!) so ringing the phone to switch on wouldnt work. Wake On Lan, is good because as longas the power is there you can ping the Machine and then it will switch on, I know there is of course Power Over Ethernet, but I dont know if that can be used here?
