Not a switch, but if you use DELL 2850 , 1850 and other _modern_ DELL xx8x servers, DRAC-IV cards provides very good IP-KVM functionality. (Older DRAC-III cards, used in 1650, are just a piece of junk). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Mercer" <jim@reptiles.org> To: "Drew Weaver" <drew.weaver@thenap.com> Cc: <nanog@merit.edu> Sent: Monday, August 22, 2005 8:25 AM Subject: Re: KVM over IP suggestions?

Howdy, I'm looking for a way to give our remote users access to their servers, perhaps a KVM-IP solution. What we need is support for multiple users (more than 2), with access control that limits what users can connect to what ports on the KVM switch, and would allow you BIOS level access and os-installation type control over the server, would also be nice if it worked with windows and linux/unix based systems. Any suggestions would be helpful.
i haven't used it, but you might want to check out:
