[William M. Brack]

I wanted to use a WRAP board to remotely control a couple of
PC's (where "control" means "reset" and/or "power on/off"), so
I constructed a a small board with opto-isolators which fits
inside the WRAP case and connects to the LPIO connector on the
WRAP, with a wire to connect internally to the 'reset' and
'power' pins inside the PC.  I then did some simple software
which sets up the connector (i.e. changes the control register
bits) for this use, and directly sets the appropriate bits in
the GPIO register (i.e. no driver or interrupt handling required)
to (remotely) accomplish it's functions.   It's all installed and
working, allowing me to "control" a system in San Francisco from
here in Hong Kong :-).  If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to
share the circuit details, and perhaps take a photo of the board.
