Hehe, thanks. It's kinda my day job (senior unix engineer)...<br />
<br />
Here's some of the many products that can do the job, altho these probably aren't the ones I'd get.<br />

I'm going to go ahead and claim it, Jeff knows more about setups and computer stuff than anyone on here.

You can buy power strips that have built-in IP as well. So you can control power remotely, too.<br />
<br />
So, you have your computer and all your equipment in the pod, powered off. You login to the power strip via wireless, or wired, and turn the strip on. Then when your remote computer is up, login to that, attach to your mount, etc, and wake it up out of hibernate, and go nuts.<br />
<br />
That's how I'll most likely be setting my stuff up, two years down the road.

thanks charles, but USB cables won't turn on the power or slew to a star will it. Told you I am not very up to date on electronics, bob

I do this same thing currently. To date I just got some long USB cables and they seem to work even though people told me they were too long. But Jeff turned me onto the idea of wireless networking, putting a CPU in the pod under the pier, running out and flipping one switch so everything sort of turns on, and then logging into the pod CPU from my laptop and running it there. Wireless control, that's the ticket I reckon.
