Stay away from Avocent if you can!  They're DSview software (version 2
I admit, version 3 might be better) is not really great.

While I haven't bought them, I really like the idea of the Kaveman

I just really dislike having to run a special client to access my
KVM.  I'm trying to get my current work to buy the one port version so
we can just toss them infront of our existing Avocent KVMs.
