Okay, I should have searched longer. I guess the term is a KVM-over-IP 
device. Many of them have their own servers, though.  Some http w/ 
SSL, some with VNC.  Has anyone seen a device that can connect to a 
host system, like FreeBSD, and be utilized by that system, versus the 
black-box approach?
