It supports "virtual floppies" which apparently allow you to boot the server
from a floppy disk from any client. Yes, it does allow a remote reboot in
the event of a completely inaccessible box.

Personally, it doesn't seem worth the $400 for something I can do with
ssh. Heck, I can set up port forwarding and access Webmin remotely in about
5 seconds.
