… Ancient jvm running under wine with webstart just to get to the remote console? ;) I do not miss those days.

You mean you don't have that issue anymore? I'm jealous.

at least relatively – gen9s, almost 10 years old by now – modern HPE iLOs have HTML5 remote console. dell too I think.

webstart at least works if non-plugin. Flash not so much -- looking at vcflex.
