I've been mostly successful in eliminating the need for most of our kvm
ports, formerly with pc weasels, and more recently with servers supporting
ipmi directly or through an addon card. the pc weasels required terminal
servers the ipmi cards just require that you put the first network
interface on the machine someplace you can reach.
