Although they are not cheap, I rather like the Cyclades TS family of
terminal
servers. They are actually Linux-based, and can be remotely managed via
either web management or via linux command line operations via either
telnet
or ssh remote login (as "root").
In truth, I hardly ever had to do anything to the several Cyclades
terminal
servers I managed at a previous job, other than to occasionally log in
to
force-drop a line to free it up.
Not sure what you might be able to do for a dial-in solution, but if
you can
get on an Internet connection (VPN or otherwise), the Cyclades solution
is
a very nice one:
