Take a look at Raritan. We use their product to gain remote access to syste=
m consoles. No more driving 100s of miles. Ok, it would be 200 feet for us.

Speaking of that sort of thing, I'd really LOVE if there were a device abou=

100+ miles to a remote colo and took a full size flat panel monitor and
keyboard with me. Has anyone actually built this yet?
