We were talking about plugging the console ports of all our Unix boxes,
PM3s, Maxen, UPSs, routers, etc into our displaced PM2s. We haven't done
it yet, but its on the table. Of course, there are serious security
considerations. If the PM2 is on the internet you don't want to be able
to do a root login to a unix without the ability to trace who did it from
where, etc.
