I'm looking at an IP-KVM. I don't need anything high res as I only need to see Linux consoles, BIOS, and RAID. What I am looking for: Non-Java client that runs on Linux (or a WebUI that will deploy a decent RDP or VNC session over SSL). Decent/configurable key mappings (ie, I've had a KVM a while ago where you had to pull down a menu for F-keys - not cool). Decently priced dongles (say ~$100?)
I've never used this but saw it mentioned on a mailing list and wished we hadn't already purchased something else: http://us.adder.com/products/adderlink-ipeps It uses the VNC protocol.
We have used a couple of the Adderlink devices and they work pretty well. One model is kind of handy in that in addition to the IP/VNC console, you can also connect a keyboard and monitor to it so you have a "local" console as well. We have had success connecting the Adderlink to standard KVM switches so we effectively have access to multiple consoles through the one device.
