Today I'm taking a look at four of the IP KVMs I've reviewed in the past! Since most of them had firmware-related issues at launch, I wanted to circle back and give them a chance to improve things before drawing conclusions between them. Since one of the most useful features of an IP KVM is the ability to manage the system at a low level, I'm doing a test of how well all of them are able to get into the BIOS, load an installer iso, and deal with the resolution and remote control challenges. Then, I dive into their network activity, how chatty they are, and conclude with a check of what bugs from my original review have been fixed.
