Thanks for the replies, folks. What I need though is all-USB... 
We have an Avocent that does that, but, it has an acknowledged 
bug that regularly triggers a flood of keystrokes when you 
switch to a different machine and depending on what window is 
the focus when you switch, can cause strange things to happen.

To reiterate, we are looking for a KVM that accepts USB keyboard 
and mouse, and that connects keyboard and mouse via USB to each 
computer. AND, most importantly, that actually works!  ;-)
