Solid-state opto-isolated relay and a usb-serial dongle? I'll be
building myself a few "real soon now"
There are IIRC, some ethernet-enabled pic devices for around $50, but I
haven't looked at how the interfacing is done.
I think the Asian retail market has quite a bit in terms of
usb-controlled power strips, but I can't seem to find anything about
them in English.

The only thing that could save UNIX at this late date would be a new $30
shareware version that runs on an unexpanded Commodore 64.
