If you think, it is possible, Plz tell me how.

I assume you mean console access in the sense that you have with, say, Sun hardware.

I haven't tried direct serial port redirection in SPLAT - assuming they didn't strip it out of the kernel it should be possible.

However if the OS itself is hung, you need something like ILO (HP) or DRAC (Dell) and/or BIOS-level serial port redirection. In other words, you need to select hardware that provides these features independant of the operating system.
