One interesting feature of the Netra's that no one has mentioned yet is the low level
prom accessible via serial console.  On the Netra's we have at work, if you issue
'power-off' at the open boot prompt, it drops you into a lower level prompt with some
basic functionality (basically control the hardware)

The E250s have a similar device that sits in a PCI slot for monitoring the hardware.
