 Maybe there is some soft watchdog solution already written. You will 
need some kind of remote power switch to make it complete.
 P.S. What is IPMI2? Will it work on standard Pentium IV grade 
motherboards, or only on Xeon server grade motherboards? And does it get 
installed on the inside of the server, or how does it work?

Remote console -> serial over LAN.
 Depends on motherboard support, not on the CPU type. I use a rather 
cheap SuperMicro server that has IPMI with serial (console) over LAN as 
an option.
 IPMI combines really good with Xen servers if you take a moment to 
configure it properly. Xen takes over the serial port, so you need to 
follow other instructions than for non-Xen systems. They are only 
slightly different luckily.
