remote KVM/remote serial console

I am just wonderring, does anybody know a solution (preferabbly affordable one) to remote KVM and/or remote serial console? Basically, this will enable you to have the physical presence from remote area (i.e. you can see the boot up process, change BIOS setting, etc remotely).

Some that I know:

remote serial: http://www.baytechdcd.com/products/dsrpcseries.shtml
costs as low as $295 (not including modules, I think).

KVM over IP:
http://kvmoverip.com/buy_avocent_dsr1161.asp
costs as low as $4000 (With softwares)

I am not quite sure the following will work:http://www.compaq.com/manage/remote-lightsout.html
price: ??

any other suggestions?

cheers,
remote KVM/remote serial console
