Second this. If your Unix people are used to a terminal server head on the
distributed servers, this is pretty close (and it gives you a way to
implement a ssh-protected console connection). This should be a high
priority for the distributors to implement in the next go-round.

A little interface tweaking to this application to make it look more like a
common Cisco terminal server would be a really neat idea. There are lots of
automation scripts that would benefit from the ability to set up userids on
an appliance system with this app as the login shell.
