The machine is hooked up by serial console, anyway.  I'll set something 
up for you to have remote access, including flipping the power switch on 
the box.

It's an ASRock 939Dual-Sata2 Mainboard -- If the other user runs the 
same, he might not need to go through setting up things, but just check 
on eventual results.

Give me a moment, I'll get back to you off-list in about an hour.
