Nate,

In doing more research, it appears that the remote "viewer" 
application is DSView, and it requires a license server. Any idea 
how/where to get "DSView" and the cost?

As it turns out, a fancy IP KVM may not be requried - I found a 
Tripplite item last night that seems to offer remote web access to 
the console hooked *TO* a KVM setup:

         Tripp Lite B050-000

Looks like I could use a standard 24 port box and just put this in 
front - does that make sense?
