looking for a hw commonly used on HP-UX

[salam]

Hello,

Those who know HP UX in some way may have met a piece of hardware called GSP.
It is a kind of serial console, which allows to control the system completely, as if you were physically at the system.
You can see(and modify) whole boot process, issue poweroff/on commands and login to tty. The console is accessed via network, has its own ip and uses telnet.

Does something similar exist for PC?

You're probably looking for ipmi cards, those are pretty close. Dell sells DRAC cards, those are similar.

Cheers.
