This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0033_01C0F84A.89AD05A0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit KVM switchesI've been using a Belkin OmniCube 4 port KVM for several months not and have had wonderful success....I bounce between an Win2k Workstation and FreeBSD box several times a day and have no problems with it. It provides keyboard emulation so you can boot up a machine when it is not selected. It also allows a keyboard shortcut (tapping the scroll-lock key twice followed by a number) to switch ports. I have found it very useful. It is not a high dollar item and would server your need quite well. If however you want to go VERY high dollar let me recommend Cybex....they make some killer KVM...remote capabilities over both modem and twisted pair, password protection of individual servers, as well as the ability to have multiple consoles in different areas each with its own setup....very sweet indeed =) -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Sean Noonan Sent: Monday, June 18, 2001 10:41 PM To: Deakle, Jeff H.; freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Cc: Lyons, Kevin C.
