Hello,
Are there any KVM over IP switches that are not thousands of dollars? Ideally a 3-4 port switch for a few hundred seems reasonable to me.

You could get a regular KVM, then connect a Lantronix Spider or Spider Duo to the "console" side of the KVM. I have done this locally and it works for the most part. Make sure to get the PS/2 version as the USB version provides a composite keyboard/mouse connection, which is probably not supported by cheaper KVMs.
