Remote Access To Computer - Hardware Solutions

Issue: At times you need to get to the BIOS or need to be able to see the boot process remotely. Here is a review of two possible solutions.

Quick/Visual/Learning:
SecureLinx Spider from Lantronix
IOGEAR GCN1000 PCPortal

Of the two I like what I read about the Spider product. A bit more expense but more flexible in terms of connectors you can get and the setup sounds like it is more straight forward.

Another Remote Access solution that allows remote reboot is RHUB http://www.rhubcom.com TurboMeeting. You can auto-login after reboot. TM is a simple, easy-to-use appliance that comes with a host of other features such as instant remote control, firewall and proxy-compliance, file sharing/ transfer, interactive chat, and more.
