At the time we had "real servers" (TM) we also had a Cyclades AlterPath ACS 
"Console Server".
The major benefit was when the server had crashed that the console server did 
capture all the terminal output of the server (serial console, of course) to 
its memory buffer.
So I could inspect what was happening even after a reboot when the messages had 
exceeded the physical terminal's scrollback buffer.
The console server could even detect a specific panic message and send an Email 
or SNMP trap when seeing such in the input...

Oh yeah: These days are gone and it's all completely off-topic...

Regards,
Ulrich
