Hi Mark, I see -- I think that the operative term is "remote management" -- I have a couple of Dell servers with remote management cards that allow for console redirection. this is pobably the most elegant and expensive option :-) although maybe others could comment if there are cards available at resaonable prices. Mine is built in and tied into bios allowing full remote control including bios modification.
The issue becomes security, because if you have no means of securing the dial-in (a user authuntification sheme) then anyone with your modem number gets directly to a su console -- a horrible thought. I think that you could try to play with mingetty and a modem, but I have never done so. Please do post back if find a good solution.
