I agree--those units work quite well. There's a way to start up the Xserve G5 with various options without a keyboard using the buttons on the front of the thing, but I can't remember what the various permutations are. FWIW, I've never seen any KVM of any brand that will pass through the option or C keys in time to catch OS X.

They seem to be hit and miss, but honestly if I ever need to take a
server that far down I can grab an Apple USB keyboard out of the shop.
Only once this year have I ever needed to reboot a server and use a
startup keystroke.
Some keys mapping aren't documented by Belkin. IIRC the 'break' key
works as the 'power' key.

I don't have any issues like this.
