Hmmm, we're running the older version 2 of the code, and the authentication is on Windows. And it's only useable from Windows too, though maybe we need to upgrade. I'm not wild about the Avocent stuff, but I know I'm stuck on older hardware/software. Now for something different... anyone know of a KVM to USB solution? I.e. I could plug into a server's VGA/mouse/keyboard ports, and the other end into my laptop and see the output inside a VNC session. Now *that* would be useful, esp if the box was nice and compact and easy to carry around.
