Cworld.com.au has Belkin KVM switches at $69 (2-port), $159 to $259 (4-port) and
$707 (8-port). Is there a cheaper option or software workaround one could use?
I only need this for temporary/test purposes.
Build one.
Bill-of-Materials:
1. Second-Hand PII PC.
2. Add 1 ether card(makes a 2 port switch)
3. or Add n ether cards (makes a n+1 switch)
4. Linux OS with Bridge modules
5. Install www.shorewall.net software to
have a bridge-firewall.
I made 4-port switch for less than $100.
