It's a great benefit for our remote library which is across town.
Lets us see if there's a tape in a drive that doesn't kive with what NBU
reports, unload a drive and move tapes when robtest can't communicate
with the drive (not often)
Gives a graphical view of what's in use, drive wise, and see if the
library is responding to NBU commands, and most importantly, lets you
see the error message that you would otherwise have to read off the
library console.

As far as the *local* library console itself, *blech*.
Have to say I much prefered the console of the ATL libraries (P3000)
I've worked with previously, though they didn't have a web console. 

We have an SL500 in our test lab....free console, but the library...ugh.
At least the L700 has a decent CAP, and isn't made of plastic pieces
that fall apart when you look at them.
