If you only care about the USB systems, nearly any USB KVM will do the
right thing.  The meta key on Sun keyboards maps to the "Vendor" keysym
(Command, Windows-logo, etc.), and there's really no additional magic
unless you really need the left-side OpenWindows keys.

We use generic bargain-basement KVMs here at $ork for SPARC systems with
USB console ports.
