RE: Re: KVM extenders

["Don McAllister" <donmc@xxxxxxx>]

VNC requires another PC to communicate with the server. If you really
just want to extend the KVM there are a number of commercial products
that allow you to use cat5 but they are generally expensive. I remember
Keith was going to build a KAT5 module for KVM extension but I don't
know if this ever came off?

Keith?
