I'm puzzled. What do you want exactly? You only need a console when you 
visit the box, surely, and then you could use a laptop? Or do you want 
to have your serial port connected to a serial concentrator so you can 
access that over ssh? If that's the case, I guess you're in a bit of a 
nice market, and will pay for the privilege.
