It works great and has saved out butts many many times..
When the networking goes down and you can get in via OBM (out
of band management) you are good to go.. Also sometimes when
hardware failure is going on the serial console is the best to figure

We hook all of the routers, unix boxes, (and anything else with a
serial port) up to terminal servers not only in manned locations but
unmanned also..
