Reverse KVM

Hi,

Can anyone suggest a CAT5 reverse KVM? I basically want to be able to control the same computer from two different locations and also run the keyboard/mouse control cables over CAT5.

Thanks

Close, but I don't want anything that requires a remote console. Just a keyboard that can be plugged in. Maybe a convertor of some sort would be better?

A Cat5 KVM, plus a VGA splitter should do what you need. I think windows will let you connect more then one USB keyboard or mouse.

Would something like AdderLink CATx KVM USB & Audio Extender allow me to use USB keyboards/mice?

Would be nice if KVM o/IP would be released below £50 per unit in some form.

I shall keep dreaming on though.
