We use Consever (http://www.conserver.com) to manage the connections to all of our netapps/unix boxes/network gear. Conserver works with just about any serial devices or terminal server hardware. I currently use Digi Etherlites as my terminal servers, but have use Portmasters and plain old serial ports in the past.

I think it would be really nice to have something like this setup so that we could get console access to our netapps via the network. I'm curious as to what's available and what other people have setup to accomplish this. The cheaper the better.

Thanks Dan
