WINVNC does not give you root access.  Sometimes you just need to hit the 
actual keyboard attached to the PS/2 port on the machine.

Rather than KVM, how about just remoting with something like WINVNC?

Subject: [THIN] KVM over IP



Thin List,
 
We are moving some servers to a different building to keep backups in a 
separate building as well as some redundant machines for disaster purposes.  
 
I think a KVM over IP would be useful for console access without having to go 
across campus.  
 
We will need to have at least 2 administrators access the servers at the same 
time.
 
What brands/models do you recommend and why.
 
I have looked at the specs for the Dominion KX216 switch.  
 
Any comments would be helpful.
 
Thank you,
Keith Sirmons
