I have used dozens of these:  Opengear IP-KVM 1001.  It's a small, single box,
that handles one machine and costs about $300.  It has a lot of nice little
convenience features, like a second RJ-45 port so it doesn't use up a position
on the big switch.

Tried the Raritan, but it's way expensive, and it can't do forwarded ports
(you HAVE TO connect on 443; it that port is already in use, too bad).

(I'm not affiliated with OpenGear, an Aussie company so far as I know).
