Does anyone know if there is a device out there that will allow you to connect up to say, five serial port devices to one serial port and control each device as necessary? The device would have to allow a remote user to change which device to control without having to physically push a button on the serial port switch. Either that, or it would need to connect to the network so someone could SSH into the serial port (console) switch and control devices.

Oh, and if you want to do it over the network, you can use one of these.

I have one of these on my rack at work and it is nice, but not cheap.
