Not according to Cobalt:
http://www.cobalt.com/products/raq/whatisit.html
"All hardware and software configuration is remote, so when a client
requests new service, the new site can be configured on the fly through a
standard browser."

Also: http://www.cobalt.com/products/raq/faq.raq3.html#12
"Would it be cheaper to build my own box?
No. You will find that the price of the build your own box is very
comparable to Cobalt RaQ servers. Also, the RaQ 3 comes pre-configured with
all the Internet service software wrapped in a very easy to use browser
based interface that takes the hassles out of adding and configuring the
software. Moreover, Cobalt provides ongoing support and continuous product
enhancements."

Of course they don't say that "remote" also includes Telnet while they make
it appear that it's all through the browser. Ain't those marketing droids
wonderful?
