We use a Cyclades multiport serial card on a Linux box, minicom as the terminal emulator, and SSH to connect. When we need console access, we SSH to the Linux box and run 'minicom filer1 to bring up the console.

Any pointers on a device that allows SSH instead of telnet for on-net access? E.g., ssh to the console server and then connect to the serial interface of a connected device?

I'm pretty fond of our Console Server 3200 by Lightwave Communications. It allows for telnet access and/or serial access. Multiple people can view at the same time and it has scrollback. It has a number of other very nice features... I use it with our filers, Suns, and various PC based UNIX systems.
