  Subject: [SunHELP] KVM recommendations

  The good news is that we now have enough Suns to justify needing a KVM =
switch for them. The bad news is, well, the same thing.

  All I can seem to find are peecee KVMs which require $150-per-port =
protocol converters to work with Sun equipment. Can anyone recommend a =
reasonably-priced switch that needs no adapters? Or a source of cheaper =
adapters?=20
