Hello!, Pushed a clean submission for the IPMI support proposal. The SPICE one depends on whether the original author for multi-screen support wants to move forward with the PR or otherwise I just include his commits as pre-reqs for my changes. Still waiting on his feedback.
Would like to merge those before moving forward with the CLI mode proposal. I've also reviewed the possibility for a "WAN mode" or WAN optimizations to make remote access through Internet experience better. Regards, Ciro.
