If you can find them, Livingston/Lucent PM-25s work pretty well too and are cheap (since they are discontinued).
NOOOOOOOOOO! Octopus cables BAAAAD! PMs have no ssh, either. I don't see the drawback of an octopus cable. Especially if its just getting converted to RJ45 and patched into a panel, anyway. Everywhere I've seen real console access implemented, its been on a private LAN with ssh access through a bastion host. There you can implement whatever authentication you want. --John who once assisted in disposing of over twenty times his weight in PM-25s Thats a shame.
