[Tfug] Remote shell app

[Tyler Kilian]

It sounds like you want to be able to access the machine remotely when 
it's crashed.  In order to do this, you need either an IP KVM, or a 
serial console set up on your PC.  On a Sun machine, serial console 
will grant you full BIOS-type access to the box.  On a PC, I don't 
believe that is the case, such that if you're sitting at a "hit F1 to 
continue" prompt, you won't get anywhere with a PC.  However, an IP KVM 
would allow you to connect from an Internet connection anywhere and be 
just as if you're at the keyboard and mouse.
