Introducing Plexer for Mac

[Valorin]

I'm a long time hardware boxer and I've just discovered this thread about Plexer. I've got a request: I use one mac and 4 pcs (because they're cheaper). So I could use the network support with the added hitch of crossplatform support. Right now I'm using a keybroadcasting version of a basic network software kvm called Synergy. (Ha! It's so old it's not even in the list of kvms even though a lot of people used it back in the day). Anyway, there's a pc client that the mac server can hook to as long as I call the mac by IP rather than "workgroup" or whatever dumb crap windows uses.

As an aside, has there been any major developments in something like this? I got back onto this line of investigation after seeing that awesome ISBoxer video Ellay posted on the front page and started searching the forums again after I wiped the drool up. I sure would like to clean up my 5 box setup since it's so ghetto.

Not to reveal too much about my plans, but yeas, something like this may come out of my networking work.
