I have been using a Sprint 3G modem to a Mikrotik (IP stuff for my use, but you can just as easily use the serial port for your needs). I pay $10/mo for a few hundred megabytes/mo. None of the Mikrotiks have 4 console ports, but you can buy 4 of them cheap.

NANOG - Are any of you running a console server to access your network equipment via a serial connection at a remote site? If so, what are you using and how much do you like it? I have a project where I need to stand up over 100 remote sites and would like a backdoor to the console just to be able to see what's going on with the equipment to hopefully avoid a truck roll for something simple like a hung device. I need 4 console ports and 1 RJ45 ethernet jack. My quick Google search landed me at BlackBox LES1204A-3G-R2, but I've never actually used such a device. This would be for use in the USA.
Thank you in advance.
