we threw them away and replaced them with a couple of Avocent AutoView jobs.


Can't get any better than that. And I'm not saying that just because G/F works there. I've used the Avocent products at three different companies now, and they're just awesome. (At one of the companies, it was an Avocent switch with the Dell logo stenciled on it, they do a lot of OEM business.)

Where I'm working now, we've got the entire lab wired up to their IP-enabled switches. I navigate to http://kvm and have instant control of any machine in the lab. It's "freakin' sweet".

Careful, though, Avocent bought at least one of the little entry-level-kvm companies to fill in the low-end hole in their product line. I don't know how to tell which switches in their lineup are part of that group. Probably tell by the price tag... smile
