Subject: small automatic transfer switches

Does anyone have any recommendations for a small, cheap, reliable ATS?
(I know, pick two, you can't have all three) I'm looking for something
to power one or two 120V out-of-band network device(s) in each
location with a single power supply each, much less than 10 amps
total, with two 120v input cords.  The primary input cord will go to
the UPS and the other directly to a wall outlet to be able to access
the UPS when if fails to turn on after the power returns :-)

I found the usual suspects, APC, TrippLite, ServerTech, etc. but they
are mostly 8 or more outlets and upwards of $300-$900 each.

I also found this neat one, Zonit uATS, which is a small box that
piggybacks onto the powered device's C14 input and has two power cords
coming out of it.  But it seems to cost just as much as the bigger
ones...
