FWIW, I want this as well, as I'm running a fledgling web service
provider off NetBSD systems and I don't like the keyboard switchbox.
There are two things stopping me from finding the time to get the
systems running on serial consoles:

	1) Lack of equipment

	2) Lack of decent hardware serial console
	2a) Lack of funds to purchase a PC weasel

I want to be able to manage a system entirely from a terminal server
except in the (rare) case when I have a real keyboard and display on it.
I'd prefer to be able to even do a hard reset from the terminal server.
