I'm pretty sure this keyboard requires a KVM switch, but with enough effort I'm sure you can interpret whatever protocol it uses,

Oooh. I actually found it. Chyros did a review of one of these a while ago and it looks like you connect the serial cable to an Alcatel box. I found a couple of people said that the USB ones can be used as USB keyboards, but you're probably not going to get one with the serial connector to work. Well, unless you wire up a Teensy or something.
