[olug] KVM for Sun & PC

[Trent Melcher]

Tim

We dont have USB keyboards/mice for our suns,  but we do have a KVM that
does it all,  Its an expensive solution, at least it was when we purchased
it, what we have is a Black Box ServSwitch Ultra KV5016FA-R2,  they use
proprietary cable unfortunately,  however you can map the keys to emulate
any supportted hardware attached.  We only use SUns, and PCs on it and found
that using a Sun keyboard was the easiest,  less keys to map for a standard
102-key keyboard.  It really does a great job, however it will cost you.

Then I still need a PC to connect to the Sun box(es) via the serial cable.
Not sure if just using console access is enough, and we purchased the Sun
keyboards & mice so we might as well use them...

Thanks for the console idea - a few people have mentioned it. I will try
to find a decent 'normal' PC KVM with PS2 & USB that is also powered.

Thanks for the assist everyone!
