Raritan MasterConsole is a very very good product. Too bad I } can't afford it for home use :( } I'd been looking for the same thing for some time. I just bought one from Computer City (CompUSA has them too.) They have both a two port and a four port model. It's the OmniView by (I think) Vulcan. It works quite well and is a lot cheaper than those other guys. I got the 2-port model for $199. I think the 4-port unit is $399. Still expensive but half the price of Raritan and friends. Mine has been working flawlessly for several weeks now. Richard To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
