Not an option for people using discount dedicated servers like 
serverbeach/ev1servers/etc.

For example, I'm personally on serverbeach, and their only "physical" 
support is a reload from fresh OS image.  They'll do config support for 
x$/hr, but not actual physical support.  They own the boxes so if your 
hardware fails they swap it out, so there's no "need" for access.

Arg!
