Raritan can be flaky sometimes. We had to go through several CIMs before we found one that would work on our Itaniums without locking up the keyboard. We had a similar issue with our Alpha servers too. It seems to work reasonably well with plain ol' HP Proliants and Dells.

I've had one at home for 9 years now, and the ones that I've deployed at various organizations have been rock solid. As for what to avoid, I have successfully avoided Raritan for years. -ASB: http://XeeSM.com/AndrewBaker On Wed, Apr 14, 2010 at 3:30 PM, Glen Johnson <gjohn...@vhcc.edu<mailto:gjohn...@vhcc.edu>> wrote: Looking for recommendations for a replacement system. Need USB and PS2 connectivity. One local user and one IP user. Up to 32 servers. Don't need serial or power control. I'd prefer cat5/6 cabling from the box to the servers to reduce cable clutter in the 2 racks. My biggest concern is good IP control. I've been burned once, bought a StarView box that added IP/VNC control to an existing KVM system and it was horrible. It would drop connections, screens weren't clear and it was just no fun using it. So what brands/models would you recommend or not recommend? Thanks Glen. ________________________________ Any medical information contained in this electronic message is CONFIDENTIAL and privileged.
