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.
