I want to build or buy a powerstrip for my network components that energizes the various 120V plugs in a timed order. This will ensure that my network will recover gracefully after a power outage without my having to 1)be there to restart everything, or 2)have to manually restart everything in the correct order. Currently, all the stuff comes back on whenever power is reapplied, but nothing has time to be assigned its proper place on the network. The computers have been set in BIOS to turn on after a power outage, no big deal - until it comes to actual connectivity. This network is too complex for it to function correctly without some control. For example, I want my modem to come on immediately upon restoration of power, wait 60 seconds (to receive a DHCP IP address from my ISP), then power on another plug for my wired router (which allocates internal DHCP and DMZ server), then wait another 60 seconds to power on the plug for a wireless router and a VOIP router, then wait another 60 seconds, and then finally power up the machines and phone that are connected to the aforementioned routers. I can build this from scratch using electrical relays if nothing is already on the market, but I thought I'd check here first for any advice. THANKS sF
