I'm working at a site with Dual WAN feeds (from 3rd parties), I think
one of them is acting up, not packet loss, but other weird browsing
issues, websites half loading, video buffering, but speedtests are
fine. I'd like to put a PC there, and test/troubleshoot the troublesome
link remotely so I'm not sitting cramped in a closet. By not having my
access to the PC over the IP and default gateway of the PC, and multiple
NICs in the PC, I can remotely switch the PC between the WAN feeds to
prove that it is an issue with that single feed.
IP KVM's are coming up around the $300-$400 range. Maybe I should just
drop a Supermicro server in there.

This sounds like a goofy use case.
Maybe a raspberry pi with a usb NIC?
What are you needing this for?
