My reply about the KVM cables where regarding the cables for the Raritan,
you must have thought I was referring to the Trendnet which you had
mentioned See below). I did find an OmniView that can be upgraded to IP if
you want to later and it will do USB and isn't too expensive. Thanks for the
input as always guys.

Correct, but they were inexpensive as well. We've noticed most other KVMs
did not include the cables, either.
