I have a card in a server nachine I colocate although it has no built
in image. It will however let me remotely boot a cd or usb image from
whatever machine I am using to access it. So I can remotely login
reboot the machine and it will access the cd drive on my laptop and
boot whatever I have in it.

The only downside is the control mechanism is an active x control and
therefore requires internet explorer. I haven't experimented on
whether it would work using the ies4linux package that is floating
around yet though.
