Funny you posted that I found those at the weekend. Also found these:
http://www.nti1.co.uk/usbc5.html
Which are true CAT5 to USB KVMS as far as I can see, 30m distance limit
though. Found them online in the US for around $160. But the above link is
=
a
UK supplier, I'll email then for a price.

Which reminds me, anyone know if you can plug two X-box controllers (Via
US=
B
adaptors) into one xbox front panel socket and the xbox see them as two
controllers? I'm guessing yes as the xbox sockets are only USB in disguise
and I would image are all linked.
If that=92s a yes then the above KVM could provide a 4 socket remote
connection to the xbox in Node 0! ..........NICE.........

Many thanks,
