I too like the Spider regardless of it's Java issues. It does accept
SSH to Serial Console so there is a non-Java way to use it.
If I can, serial console redirection is preferred but all of my
Supermicro systems have the IPMI onboard.
Expect to see more solutions use tools like http://guac-dev.org/ in
the very near future.
