All,
Just because it hasn't really been mentioned in this thread, and specific
products may be of interest, we use remote console switches for this. The
advantage over a terminal server is that it buffers the console output so
you can look at recent activity, without resorting to disk files. The
price is pretty comparable.
Our current favorite is the CMS series from Western Telematic
(www.wti.com). They allow multiple telnet sessions so you can still have
all your xterms running, if you want. However, we have found that it is
useful to have up to date firmware. $1300 for a 16 port system.
WTI also do remote power switches - the ones you telnet into and type
'reboot ioc1' and it very graciously interrupts the 110 volt supply from
ioc1 for 5 seconds or so. Also useful to have. $600 for 8 separately
switchable plugs and a total of 30 amps AC.
So, maybe a crass advert for WTI, but we find them useful since driving
two hours to the summit just to reboot an ioc is a bit boring.
Cheers,
