If you have crash issues I use this on all my nodes and bbs. It pings the
box how often you want it and will reboot if it doesn't respond. I also
have it set on the router. You can remote in thru http or even call in a
phone line and it voice prompts you thru it. My machines would run for
months until I left town and one would lock up. This little box solved all
my issues.
