  There *are* Ethernet-accessible KVM devices, but unless that's
what your users have in mind, I think you're okay.  The one other
possibility to beware of is if they're using a USB keyboard and 
mouse -- a USB KVM might possibly take other USB devices, such as
flash drives, along for the ride.

Had a quick question...

I have some users that want to use KVMs to switch between 
computers on 3 different / seperate networks.

Are there any known security concerns about having networks 
set up this way?

I am thinking that if I can remote into the machine that 
touches the cloud, I would be able to then by pass security 
and use that machine to remote into the private network.

Any thoughts?

Tim
