I'm in a talk right now on ktest.pl, which is pretty neat, but made for basically just doing kernel testing on one machine. One of the things he mentioned, that we know we've had to deal with is power control. Instead of the APC devices like we're using though, he's found a thing called a web power switch from data loggers. It doesn't support telnet, but can easily be controlled with wget or curl to tell a port to reset. The nice thing? It is only $129 (less if you order more). It does only seem to have american power plugs on it, but will handle 240V, so it could be used with an adapter.
NUT supports several PDU, RPC (remote power control), powerswitch via SNMP/Web: www.networkupstools.org/stable-hcl.html?device-type=pdu
A similar project from Redhat does the same: fence-agents.
EATON produces this kind of power switch (see also NUT link): http://epdu.com
Some details for EATON ePDU: - Switched versions allow to switch on/off/reboot only - Managed versions add measurement features (voltage, current consumption, ...)
