I too like the Spider regardless of it's Java issues. It does accept SSH to Serial Console so there is a non-Java way to use it. If I can, serial console redirection is preferred but all of my Supermicro systems have the IPMI onboard. Expect to see more solutions use tools like http://guac-dev.org/ in the very near future.

Having recently encountered a problem with a machine, I’m looking for an inexpensive KVMoIP device to place within a facility to take VGA/USB Keyboard for a single host scale. Ideally something that can be properly placed on the internet, but that’s not a showstopper.
If you’re willing to loan me one for a week or two as well, let me know too so I can ship it to the site and recover my machine.
I've used Lantronix Spiders in the past, they're not bad.
I'm curious if anyone knows of one that doesn't use Java for the client though. With things like NoVNC and Guacamole out there now, it seems like a HTML5 based remote KVM should be possible and not a nightmare to work with.
