I've been playing with these:
http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/kvm-over-ip/securelinx-spider.html
About $300. It's a little Linux (I suspect) embedded computer with an
Ethernet port, USB and PS/2 keyboard and mouse plugs, and a VGA cable. The
VGA is internally connected to a frame grabber, so you can remotely
control any PC at a hardware level.
It's not bad over a LAN, though sometimes I have to kill/restart the
viewer because the colors are funky. Don;t know how it'd be over a WAN; I
need to try it. It uses a proprietary Java viewer that appears to be
based on the VNC Java viewer.
There's a variant that also allows a local keyboard and monitor to be
simultaneously connected.
A similar product I'm interested in (because it uses standard VNC as the
viewer) is this, but I haven't tried it yet:
http://us.startech.com/product/SV1115IPEXT-1-Port-Server-Remote-Control-KVM-over-IP-with-Virtual-Media-and-Serial-Control
It's about twice as expensive, though.
Ultimately if you have Dell servers the DRAC cards might be better, but I
needed this capability on a variety of machines.

I've been looking for good solutions to manage my Foxboro servers
remotely,
wondering if anyone is using drac5 or idrac6 cards in their IA boxes.
Cheers,
Kevin
