I recently worked somewhere where we had to access masses of servers throughout the country over the internet (some vpn - some not) and I can tell you that a simple telnet/netterm tty login was the _only_ way and it was VERY effective - particularily when logging in via a terminal concentrator to reboot something like a sun server (i.e console only access) . So there is a LOT of life left in in tty (CLI) only access yet!
