Since you're talking about a limited area, you should look into
the new CAT-5 devices by Cybex and Raritan. These usually go
with their KVM switches, but can have multiple ports themselves.
What they do is multiplex KVM onto a single CAT-5 cable, which then
can run hundreds of feet. You have a decoder box and your monitor/
mouse/keybd at the receiving end. Regrettably, you can't use the
Ethernet LAN cable for this. But you don't need to - the computer,
wherever it is, is connecteed to the LAN.
(Actually you now can run KVM remotely over a LAN with Cybex's new
DS1800 Digital KVM. But is costs $10K :-)
I haven't used these devices yet, but I'm thinking about the Cybex
LongView Companion. It has local and remote ports, and also adds
audio and a serial port to the mix. Great for the BMI able feed!
A hint - you could add multiple 'terminals' if you can buy extra
receivers. Just run the device output into a 4-port RJ45 switch
box, and you can select any of four terminals for use. But not
simultaneously.
