Mutated PC

Do they need to use it at the same time?

I don't have a lot of fancy remote experience, but a simple KVM switch (if it had the ports [2VGA, 4USB])

I spent a few minutes trying to work it out in my head, and it would require two KVM's? one at each of the guys computers?

Isn't KVM switch for using multiple PCs with a single set of input devices ? Or doesn't Wikipedia say so ?

They need to be able to reach the terminal without having to leave their desks, that's the point. They don't have to be able to use it at the same time. One can do his job from his end, finish, and the other one can take control from his desk. Colleagues are located close to each other so communication is not a problem.

Basically like using Windows Remote Support to connect to the computer via the network?

There are programmes all over the place for doing that. Unfortunately, I can't give you names.

That would work, but if thats not allowed.

My KVM idea wouldn't be the best, but it would work.

Person X and Y, with their computers, X and Y, and the third computer Z.

At computer X and Y there is a two way KVM (so two KVMs) which has their own terminal and leads going into computer Z. Would require two moniter out on Z as well as 4 USB ports (2 keyboard and 2 mice)

Would basically mean that person X and Y just hit the switch on the KVM at their terminal when they needed to control computer Z or their own. Roundabout but software free way of doing it.
