Well, it supports SSH which, IMO, is better then dialing into a device. 
  As for remote reboot, you could reboot it via command line while 
logged in.  But if it's because you're firewall is locking up alot then 
there are bigger problems?

I use late model P3's for firewalls myself.  Like you, but not Sun.  But 
my firewall/gateways generally go beyond basics and into proxy, content 
filtering, and AV scanning.  If I didn't have those needs, the low power 
WRT54G's running OpenWRT or DDWRT would be perfect and inexpensive.
