What happened when the machine was powered off?  Could you still talk to 
the hardware and make it power itself back on?  We ended up going with a 
Western Telematics Network Power Switch - which work fine, assuming you 
can get the bios on the box to 'always turn on after AC reset'.  Just 
wondering how you solved that problem.
