Does anyone else have a serial to IP dongle for devices that are IP only?
That dongle would need to have telnet and SSH support. Or an IP-to-IP
dongle, that would support a routing table? There's Brocade kit that has a
mgmt. port, but it doesn't have its own routing table (they now have a mgmt.
vrf in some software releases), making it local-only or something you have
to use some kind of pseudo-NAT (all public IPs are translated to
mgmt-network IPs).

Absolutely. All kinds of creative lashups to get console access in
difficult situations (and, as you noted previously, an increasing number of
devices don't support serial console at all, which is highly annoying).
