We have used a couple of the Adderlink devices and they work pretty
well. One model is kind of handy in that in addition to the IP/VNC
console, you can also connect a keyboard and monitor to it so you have a
"local" console as well. We have had success connecting the Adderlink to
standard KVM switches so we effectively have access to multiple consoles
through the one device.
