Possibly useful, not exactly cheap but it will work anywhere.
If you direct connect to the downlink port from the controller pc, you
should be able to write a simple script to control the unit.
Plus the added benefit you could control it from a very, very, very long
way away :)
It could also monitor the controlling pc to make sure it's still running
and reboot it if it isn't.
They even let you self drive a unit via an online demo:

Thanks dave, that's the closest to what I need so far. If only it worked
from usb :-) I think what I might do is start with one that can switch low
voltage cameras as many have external power supplies. If this is popular
then I could look for something that switch 240volts.
