Its worth looking for an XYLOGICS ANNEX box, it's an IP KVM, I use it to
access console acces to my Cisco and Sun Servers.
Ebay always has a few of these around mostly in the US, I bought my one for
£30 "MicroAnnex XL" if you went for the ANNEX III then these self-boot, the
version I have requires a TFTP.
Alternative, are DIGI servers, same principle, simple make console DB25/DB9
or RJ45 pins and away you go, the Digi servers is better than the Annex box
but you always end up paying for it.
I use Annex for my Sun Cluster Lab at home, they support NON-send break.
Cheers

Subject: [Peterboro] Remote Console Access
Does anyone know an inexpensive way of setting up IP-based remote console
access? I would like to set up keyboard/video access to a remote machine,
that will let me can access it at BIOS/boot loader level from home (i.e.
before the operating system loads). IP-based KVM switches seem to start
at around £500, which is a lot more than I want to spend. Anyone got any
useful ideas?
