Another solid vote for Avocent.

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.

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.
