We had a power outage yesterday and one thing we decided would be useful would be to have some way of identifying the console that console is connected to. Say by having something like [hostname] [console server] [device] on the top line of the console. and have it togglable for people that don't want it. Of course at this point someone mails me and tells me that you can do something like this already. The other Idle thought I've just had, was if we allowed a comment field on the end of the conserver.cf console entry i.e. scar:/dev/cub23:9600p:&:1h:"Patch panel 7 port 6648" you could have something like client:server:dev/cub23:Patch panel 7 port 6648 on the top line.
