    IMM features
             The IMM provides the following functions:
             ° Around-the-clock remote access and management of your server
             ° Remote management independent of the status of the managed
        server
         ° Remote control of hardware and operating systems
             ° Web-based management with standard Web browsers



So much for the idea such a thing as a a freedom-loving and people's rights
and privacy respectfull technocorporation could exist.
