I guess that'd be useful if you needed BIOS access and didn't have a 
good quality server mobo that'd give it to you over a serial console 
directly.

For under Linux you get the same functionality built in via the 
'console=' boot argument and a one-line tweak to inittab.

It also has the advantage of not being REALLY SCARY like that device.
