I'm used to Sun Sparc hardware which does serial very well.  The iLOM is
serial/ethernet.  I haven't tried the serial stuff on the x64 based stuff
yet.  I did have to install Windows XP 64 on an intel quad core workstation
but didn't have time to try the serial port.

ILO ought to be the cheapest, though I haven't done much with it yet.

I haven't needed to be yet.  The ipmitool app is supposed to work with a few
varients.
