We use a serial "kvm" called a Cyclades.

You connect all your serial ports to it, and any number of serial consoles,
and then you can switch between the ports.

It also allows access via TCP/IP (SSH/Telnet) or dialup. It's similar to the
HMC vterm in function.

So really you would not have to take any pSeries rack space up. Just mount
the Cyclades somewhere else.

It also uses cat5 with serial connectors so there are hardly any length
restrictions, and you can use your existing network patch blocks and panels.

It's really a "linux" appliance so you have syslogd, nfs console logging,
PAM, IPSec, and so on.

So it's NOT a serial terminal ... it's a monitor. I'd be really interested
in the serial terminal, myself.

We use a 1u flat panel with an apex 8 port kvm switch, works great,
expensive, easy config

Subject: Flatpanel rackmount 1U serial terminal?

Folks,

Is anyone currently using a 1U rackmount serial terminal with an LCD
display and keyboard in one drawer? We have one from IBM for a standard
monitor and keyboard, but we're going to be getting a bunch of new AIX
boxes, and would like to replace the 3153 with something smaller, so we
don't use up as much space in the rack, and don't have to buy video
cards for all the servers.

Basically, it's a 1 or 2U serial terminal with an LCD display - anyone
using such a critter?

Thanks...
