The only sure fire mehtod I can think of is by powering down and up the
Amiga's power from a remote location.  I imagine the telephone controller
for the X-10 power system would be the best bet.  Use the appliance
switcher on the Amiga's outlet.  Now you can call from a remote location,
turn off its power, wait, and then turn it back on (making sure you left
the disk in that has the proper startup-sequence :-).
