[NTLUG:Discuss] KVM choices

[Stuart Yarus]

Tanner's usually has a very nice set of KVMs, anywhere from 2 to 5 machines
supported per KVM.  I don't recall the pricing, but a 5-machine KVM might
be around $50 - $75.  I got a 2-system KVM from Tanner to try out, and have
been pleased with the result.  No problems switching between RH6.0 and (Win
3.1 or Solaris 2.6).

Uh, what's that about "keyed switching methods"?

(Tanner Electronics is just west of I-35 on Valwood Parkway, in Carrollton.)
