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.
This isn't all that bad an idea, except I'd like to point out that the
BSR X-10 system is also VERY flaky. Our system at home reacts quite a
bit to spurious commands (noise? someone else has a controller on the
same house setting?), and the switches often croak after a period
ranging from days to months. Not too reliable, esp. if you want to
avoid having to go to those remote locations.
