KVM-IP isn't cheap but it is very useful when needed. Linkskey
LKV-9208IP (Newegg item #N82E16817402026) directly supports 8
connections to servers and is cascadable up to 120. The cascade KVM is
the Linkskey LKV-9308 (Newegg #N82E16817402020) and the cables support
PS/2 and USB (Newegg #N82E16812214010).
