BlackBox had the first ones of these that worked reliably, as far as I know.
I used one for a while a few years ago and it was great, but you'll spend
most, or all, of your $1K on one. For myself, I've used a 4-port Belkin
OmniView SE for about 2 years without a hitch. It's daisy-chain-able, and I
put it in, including cables and shipping, for a bit under $200.

Subject: URGENT!!! KVM Recommendations needed
Need recommendations for KVM switch, 6 to 8 port, something that
doesn't flounder looking for mice/keyboards, extensible(if possible)
with CAT5 or over IP.
Have up to $1000 US to spend on this, but am in emergency mode trying
to find the best solution.
Usually would look around a lot and test stuff, but have a wild hair
happening over here.
Any advice would be very very appreciated.
Thanks!

beginning, only asking the advantages authors have in a second edition to
correct some faults of the first.
