i recall the same thing- again, though, can't recall the name.
the problem is that portability is a big factor, it seems- he already said he didn't want to deal with a PCI card.
as far as building your own, your best bet is to start reading up on embedding linux into devices, and learn circuitry to integrate a NIC... this is getting expensive
honestly, you'd be better off just getting an old XBox from ebay, throw linux on it, solder in the USB connectors, and using that as a kvm relay and use ps/2->usb converters

I seem to recall, back from the Wasabi days, a company with an
embedded NetBSD-derived system on a PCI card (ARM-based? Maybe?)
whose functionality was to provide a serial and network addressable
interface into the PC BIOS / console output of whatever was running
on the hardware in which it was installed at the moment. This was
a card that took up one full-size PCI slot, plus a bit of obvious
cabling inside the system, that was priced below $500. I have a
feeling I have one of their t-shirts in one of these boxes I haven't
unpacked yet.
Frustratingly, I can't remember the company's name, nor has Google
helped much in five minutes of work. A little help?
Or yelp at me privately and I'll probably conjure up some memory in
the daylight...
