rack mount KVM over IP

    I had good luck with Raritan except when I put one into a remote 
site.  The Raritan software would not create the JAVA subprocesses, i.e. 
network information not carried to new sub process correctly, preventing 
it from getting back thru our fire wall.  Rariatan was working on this 
but I do not know if they ever resolved it.   Without the firewall issue 
it worked great.
