Remote Reset - X10??

I'm running a cable modem with router.  this gear and my Tradestation server
is supported with an APC UPS.

Occassional the broadband cable goes out and I have to power on/off the
router to recover IP addresses for the office network.

I have other X10 devices, and have located a $ 70 telephone transponder at
www.smarthome.com, (my source for X10 goodies).

This will do the job.  I can put an X10 'Appliance Switch' between the UPS
and the modem/router pair.  This can be turned on and off by telephne
command.

Butttt, X10 isn't foolproof - rare false triggers.  also $ 70 is $ 70
although seems quite reasonable.

Question - anybody know a direct, single box solution - telephone controlled
110VAC switch, for less than $ 100.

tks, daver
