Try this : http://www.dlink.com/products/Business/kvm/ we run dlink 4 port KVM with no probs at all, buy belkin and you apparently pay for the name. We use for web, mail and 2 DNS servers, no switch probs or anything. Got it at www.pricewatch.com for 68$, cables were 12$ ea/ for 4 sets so total was 120 or so. Apparently belkin sucks. We use 1 kbd, 1 mse and 1 mon. so "name" is not all, go dlink and you'll be happy, least 4 port.
