Bob, What was the big difference between the first version and the -2 and would you say 600 to 1000.00 difference in price is worth it? Looks like they are just rebranded Advocent's.

They work well and have http as well as the Dell application. They also have extenders that allow you to turn a single port into 8 ports. If I had to change for some reason and couldn't get the Dell, I would look at that Avocent. I have used those before as well and liked them. BF From: Michael B.

They hate it. So do I. I had pretty good luck with Avocent's a few years ago. I would hope that they didn't screw up the product line. Regards, Michael B. Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: gswe...@acts360.com [mailto:gswe...@acts360.com] Sent: Monday, February 28, 2011 7:49 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: IP KVM We have about 16 physical boxes that we need to have BIOS level access to. Some of them will be rotating workstations and servers that are setup, built and deployed to other locations. We are looking at a cost effective yet functional switch that will allow at least 2 remote Ip connections. PS/2, USB connections support is required. I would prefer not having to purchase expensive software to fully enable the device. Anyone have any recommendations.. Dell, Advocent, Raritan have been brought up by our techs, but none of them have any significant experience with any of them. I have used the Dell 2161 which worked, but it wasn't the most streamlined interface. I heard the -2 versions are much better. Thanks again! Greg Sweers CEO ACTS360.com<http://www.acts360.com/> P.O.
