[AusNOG] OOB Console - What are people using?

[Skeeve Stevens]

Hey,

Not quite OOB, but one of the things someone just pointed out to me was the
Ubiquity mFI kit - http://www.ubnt.com/mfi

They have power-boards with ethernet and wifi in them for remote power
control, and lots of other little gadgets, sensors, etc.

The prices here: http://www.wisp.net.au/mfi-c-63.html are ridiculously
awesome for what you can build - (much cheaper than ComNet)
