Another approach is to buy a remote power switch. With it, basically you can remotely "power cycle" the server :) It will solve any hang problem just as if you are there :)
I have actually tried this. I bought a very cheap ($20) device from China which is supposed to switch the power on and off when it receives a GSM message. But to date I haven't been able to get it to work. (The instructions are in a language midway between English and Chinese.)
I've decided UPS is a more reliable solution.
