rack mount KVM over IP

[Jerry Feldman]

 Thanks guys. After looking at prices, Rose came down a bit, but not
enough for me and my boss. I recommended the Aten CS1716I
(http://www.aten-usa.com/?product&cat=3D777&Item=3DCS1716i&PHPSESSID=3De9=
f07c4453516feaa58eff1386598ed).
After comparing all other units, it appears to be the best unit for us.
