Better yet, you might want to look into something that won't be hardware
dependent. A KVM with TCP/IP connectivity would be just the ticket.

http://www.avocent-international.com/ sells KVMs that you can connect to
via the Internet. Quote from their site:
"How does KVM technology work ?
KVM technology provides you with direct access to the
keyboard, video and mouse ports on multiple PCs or
servers. Because it is a direct  connection, KVM
operates independent of any hardware or software
you have installed on the target machines. With KVM
technology, you can directly access your servers from
anywhere right down to BIOS level. "

Or you can try and find something on a smaller scale like this:
