[hobbit] Sort of off topic (gsm modems)

[Phil Wild]

Thanks people,

Actually, we also use these PDU's and I did not think of it. Unfortunately,
this server is mounted inside a rack supplied by the data centre owner. I
can't just replace the whole PDU and we only pay for a portion of the rack.
I was looking for something small and relatively cheap.

The below is what I have found so far...
