Though the company is still beta testing their software (it's been up and
running here for months) we use something called Autoreboot. After a period
of inactivity it will shut down your computer (resets our modem) then
restart the computer to wahtever program you put in the startup. We use it
with their Parking Meter program which allows us to hand out a disk with a
specific time period of use. You can find them at
