I use Consoleworks to access the console on my one remaining
alphaserver.    I can definitely say that my life would be worse
without some kind of solution to provide connectivity to the Alpha
console.    I'm not a huge ConsoleWorks advocate, however it is what I
have, and it works fine, so I am a happy camper.
