A economical solution

["marke" <google@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm looking for a solution to my want, anyone with advice/suggestions
it's appreciated.

I would like to be able to call home, have a device pickup the call in
concert with my answering machine, and I'd like to be able to tell the
new box to turn off & then a momment later back on (or just powercycle)
a router in my home office

The difficulty I'm seeing (after reading a lot of historical posts in
this group) is that the device I want to powercycle (my router
actually) sits behind a very nice UPS, which conditions the power (and
presumably would eat a standard house wiring x-10 signal)

For the momment, my entire desire is to powercycle that one low-juice
sucking device, with something that sits between the UPS and the
Router--  and works..  in the future, I can forsee the possibility
where I'd like to also power-cycle a computer behind the same UPS- so
something expandable would be nice also..

anyone have reccomendations for this situation?  the phoneline in, and
router device, are about 100ft & two walls apart... and running a cable
is not (cough wife) practical.
