Are these supervisor cards unique to IBM & HP?
Can the card be bought separately and will they work on generic
motherboard?
Do you have URL for info on these  supervisor cards?

This may or may not be an option for you:  both IBM and HP (Compaq)
offer
remote supervisor cards that offer network access to the machine,
even
when it is booting, etc. You can use it to access the BIOS, watch
the
machine boot, get into single user mode, etc, all from your chair
in another city.
