If any vendor has that can that vendor (or a user) please speak up.

Walden,

I have an old Decision Data dumb terminal which uses a VGA output so you can
use any monitor but alas it's keyboard is proprietary.  I often wished it
could be configured to accept a standard keyboard.

I have a flat panel monitor with dual inputs, so I can switch the display
easy enough, but the proprietary keyboard keeps me from using a KVM for it.

Maybe some vendor has a twinax base which accepts a regular keyboard and a
VGA output?  Then it could serve as the system console over KVM -- even IP
enabled ones.
