KVM, in this case, means software and hardware that emulates a
keyboard, video screen and mouse at a distance. It should
connect you to your machine's physical console, or as close as
one can come to that.
Dedispec will tell you what access methods are available --
commonly, a Java program, or a web service, or VNC.
Their website says "temporary kvm over IP", which suggests that
they will come and plug in a networked device that will talk to
your server's VGA, USB and PS/2 ports. The client end of that
could be any of the above methods -- ask them.
