Can't find our manuals, so I don't have the manufacturer or contact info, but we've got several boxes called TeleBoot 450's, which control up to 5 devices each. The manufacturer does make a smaller device as well. Basically, you hook up the teleboot to a phone line, and plug the device(s) into the teleboot. You then call the line, enter a 4 digit security code, and a single digit of which device to power cycle. The Teleboot then turns of that socket for aproximately 10 seconds. Supposedly, you can cascade several TeleBoots on a single phone line, but we haven't done that yet.
