Having recently encountered a problem with a machine, I’m looking for an inexpensive KVMoIP device to place within a facility to take VGA/USB Keyboard for a single host scale. Ideally something that can be properly placed on the internet, but that’s not a showstopper.
If you’re willing to loan me one for a week or two as well, let me know too so I can ship it to the site and recover my machine.
(Time to start moving to next-gen for personal servers.. *sigh*).

I really enjoy carrying this in my back pack:

Even supports ipv6. I often ssh into it based on link-local address to
figure out it's DHCP IPv4 address
Kind regards,

These work pretty fair:

The older versions had VGA input. Looks like the newer ones are DVI.
Might be able to find an older used one someplace.

I've used Lantronix Spiders in the past, they're not bad.
I'm curious if anyone knows of one that doesn't use Java for the
client though. With things like NoVNC and Guacamole out there
now, it seems like a HTML5 based remote KVM should be possible
and not a nightmare to work with.
I too like the Spider regardless of it's Java issues. It does accept
SSH to Serial Console so there is a non-Java way to use it.
If I can, serial console redirection is preferred but all of my
Supermicro systems have the IPMI onboard.
Expect to see more solutions use tools like http://guac-dev.org/ in
the very near future.
