Freedom9 freeView IP 100 IP KVM Switch Review

Highlights

A highlight of features as they stood out to me:

Remote IP KVM ability (obvious)
Remote mount/drive redirection (discussed more later)
Highly configurable (almost too configurable)
Management tool to manage a collection of these devices from a single screen.
Documentation specifically mentions attaching it infront of a larger KVM.

After noticing my comment queue had lots of spam, I looked back and saw your comment! Well, years late, I'd just like to say USB boot is for the KVM to be able to boot up the computer using a remote CD drive. Basically using the remote KVM software, you can mount an ISO image as though it was local to the device. This allows you to remotely reload the OS, or boot a rescue CD. I hope this makes sense.
