I used to have a phone rebooter on the system at home.....the last basement
flood took it out of action.

So, I could call in with my cellular to reboot the machine.  Except I don't
have a cellular anymore.  Seemed my main expense was calling my pager service
or calling myself (the phone rebooter).
