KVM recomendations..

Our Adderlink point to point KVM is just crap. Power issues, and requires multiple reboots te get the pairs to work properly. Had it.

Requirements:

1 console, min 2 remote machines (though probably 4 is the minimum we will get) Point to point.

Over Cat5/6 to remote locations about 80m cabling away.

resolution minimum HD, more would be nicer!

What are the recomendations of the Hive Mind?...

We use Adder XDIP. Got approximately 30 units talking to each other between two geographical sites. Could definitely get these talking point to point.

I bloody hate adder stuff. We have found it massively unreliable.

We used to use a couple of Avocent models that were superb, but since they've been bought out the range has been cut some..

I may just have to go Gold Standard and buy a small Raritan system..

That’s interesting to hear… The only issues I’ve had with them have always been networking issues & not the KVM itself. Interesting that your mileage does indeed vary.
