Right now, I've got a pull-out KVM connected to an external KVM switch =
that connects to the management ports on our blade centers, etc.  I've =
also got a separate console server for our network devices with a modem =
for out of band.

I'd love to be able to collapse these three devices into one.  I've seen =
pull-out KVMs that have an integrated KVM switch, but I haven't seen =
anything that is also IP enabled to cover the console server component =
as well.

Has anyone seen such an animal, by chance?=
