I don't think you can get ethernet and transport out-of-the-area in some places at a reasonable cost, so having serial-console I think is still a requirement.
TDM is disappearing quickly in at least some parts of the world. We may not be quite there yet, but I think it's entirely reasonable to start asking for Ethernet console in procurement documents. Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
