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.
