What about a hard reset via power cycling? Haven't chased it up for
years but you could/can get kits or off-the-shelf devices that you
could dial into with pstn lines and enter a touch-tone key sequence to
operate a relay that turned on or off power boards. Intended for
remote starting of pumps, fans, etc, but seems ideal for your use,
too.
