This is commercial site but the product just looks so cool
The picotux 100 is the world's smallest Linux computer, only slightly larger (35mm×19mm×19mm) than an RJ45 connector. Inside, there is an ARM7 CPU at 55 MHz running uClinux kernel 2.4.27 and Busybox 1.0. Two communication interfaces are provided, 10/100 Mbit half/full duplex Ethernet and a serial port with up to 230.400 baud. Five additional lines can be used for either general input/output or serial handshaking.
Looks like this would be handy to plug into a server's serial port in order to get console access over the network. (Though the machine's BIOS stuff wouldn't be accessible.)
Uh... actually if you have a real server, even the BIOS will be available over the serial port (a real server being a HP, Dell, Supermicro, etc).
We use Cyclades servers for that. Cheaper if you have a whole lot of ports.
