Serial consoles work the best.
Combined with an old laptop and you're set!

Let me add another tip:

Configure your server to use a serial console.  You don't need an
actual terminal or terminal server.  Just contect it to the second
serial port of another server.  Use something like tip on one server
to connect to the other and vice versa.

I once created a 10 hop daisy chain this way before I dedicated one
crap i486 as terminal server.
