We have used a couple of the Adderlink devices and they work pretty well. One model is kind of handy in that in addition to the IP/VNC console, you can also connect a keyboard and monitor to it so you have a "local" console as well. We have had success connecting the Adderlink to standard KVM switches so we effectively have access to multiple consoles through the one device.
