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.
