Yes, that is also a good choice. Avocent is what we use personally (for 
serial console servers besides KVMoIP) and it works great so it was easy 
to recommend.  One thing to remember is that this is your remote access 
device, it should perform flawlessly and the prices are the prices 
($500+).  As some others suggested you _could_ build a solution, but do 
you really want to have to remotely diagnose your remote access 
equipment? Building your own will also take a lot of up-front and 
on-going time and you need to figure out how much your time is worth.
