That doesn't help my colo machine in London.  It was only after it
had been there a year that I had to reboot it remotely, and then
realised I hadn't twiddled the special BIOS knob for making keyboardless
reboots the default.  Fortunately some techie was available to press
the little button manually.  Just why should this be the default in
a machine designed to be a rackmount server?
