Alternative solution #236

Is it access to the REAL console that you need or just a shell session?
Assuming you want the real console another option that springs to mind is to
use a serial connection between the 2 machines and run one with a serial
console that you access from the other, that way only one ever needs the
keyboard and monitor connected to it and all you need is a simple serial
cable.
