Not so much a problem since the CoLo is staffed 24/7 and glad to help.  
Soon to add KVMoIP. 

There is a rudementary (have not played with it yet) 
/The latest industry-standard Intelligent Platform Management Interface 
(IPMI) 2.0 Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) allows remote, 
out-of-band management over a network or serial connection with any 
industry-standard IPMI management program.

/I will play with this feature a bit before investing in KVMoIP.

Thanks,
