         For anyone still following this thread, there is currently a
    Rose 4-port ServeView Pro listed on eBay (US) for $15, apparently
    unused, as in still in the original box. Beware, however, that the
    cables can be quite expensive...they are Rose proprietary with DB25
    connectors on the switch side. Those can be found on eBay as well,
    and other posts have mentioned Black Box as a source of cables.

         For myself, given John Malmberg's last post, I'm going to try
    this new Belkin "thing-y". :-)
