I have had good luck with Digi console managers for serial... I think they have some KVM functionality, but I don't know how well that works as I have only used the serial management.

I haven't really found a combo unit I like as yet. For KVM, I like the Raritan products. For Serial, I prefer the Avocent line.

Being able to trunk everything through cat5E/RJ45 plant is not necessary; in this application everything is in the same cabinet.Avocent seem to make a likely-looking box, but (a) it's a bit insanely expensive, and (b) the adapters that you connect using RJ45 to the avocent and via RS232 to the serial devices *each seem to require a power supply* which frankly makes me recoil in horror. Perhaps I mis-read the glossy web page.Advice would be appreciated; direct mail is fine; I can summarise back to the list if there is interest in me doing so.Joe
