I heard an interesting story once...
A large retailer used 712s as a central server of each store. Because they
didn't want the local employees meesing with the system and the serial
console hack wasn't published at the time they used a PS/2 loopback
connector. The only other connections to the system were power and 10bt. If
the central office ever had problems connecting to the system they'd call
the local manager up and ask him to cycle the soft-power switch. If it still
didn't respond they swap the box out :)
Having soft-power under linux would be really cool, but I'm not sure what
state its in currently.
