Are your NetApps and other servers connected to a console server?

The last place I was at ran software called "conserver" that enabled
us to attach to and detach from the different console ports (a little
like using the program "screen"), to remotely watch what someone was doing,
and to be able to steal control of a console if needed.
It also keeps a logs for each of the ports.

But to the point, I've had nothing but good experiences with NetApps
and I hope to buy more in the near future.
