What is a "lcd kvm solution"?

If all machines are functioning and on a network, you can manage
them via telnet (or something more secure?) from anywhere with a
telnet client on the same network.

You can have an rs232 (db25/db9 with appropriate cables) ABCD
switch to selectively connect to all 3 machines from the 3153.

You can also have X windows running on all three machines (even
if there is no monitor card), and connect from the VGA card box
to the others via xterm (or whatever).
