KVM, in this case, means software and hardware that emulates a keyboard, video screen and mouse at a distance. It should connect you to your machine's physical console, or as close as one can come to that. Dedispec will tell you what access methods are available -- commonly, a Java program, or a web service, or VNC. Their website says "temporary kvm over IP", which suggests that they will come and plug in a networked device that will talk to your server's VGA, USB and PS/2 ports. The client end of that could be any of the above methods -- ask them. -dsr-
