IP KVM for Cisco Console Access
I'm looking for an IP based KVM that will allow me to console into a cisco router and will also allow me reboot the router in case i want to do so. I know all of this can be accomplished through telnet access, but i need a hardware device capable of doing so as well. My budget is under $300 and i only need 1 ethernet and 1 console port on the device. Thanks!

That looks like it may work...
What about creating user accounts with different access priveledges?

Yes, 2 different networks.
I need to remotely control power to the devices as well.

To control power to the devices you'll need a PDU with that capability.
I use APC, http://www.apc.com/products/family/index.cfm?id=70
Lets me force a power cycle of a specific outlet; I think that's what you asked for.
I'm sure there are others out there.
