A couple of these have "glass ttys", ie. no graphics at all, and others have old low-res monitors of 800x600 at best.

How about Webmin and a browser? Webmin saved my life many times when I was learning IP and *nix. I suspect there are more sophisticated systems, Nagios comes to mind. But you really don't need the machines downstairs to make any pictures -- all it has to do is make some HTML and give it to a web server. Or CLI software watching what goes on in your servers. Like Logwatch or Monit or a script or two that you've written that emails you about things that need attention. Or all of the above... -- Glenn English
