If cost is a concern and you need less than 8 ports,
I'd just daisy chain the serial ports with null modem
cables. It's easy, simple, and cheap. Of course this
assumes you have two serial ports on each machine and
the "parent" machine is up.

Then run conserver and a master conserver for a 
virtual console server.
