You mentioned you were using a KVM switch in another message... I'm using a MS Intellimouse Optical at work, which uses the same protocol as the Explorer. I had problems using it with my 4-port Belkin KVM switch, so I finally had to attach the Intellimouse Optical directly to my FreeBSD box (using PS/2, not USB, though it works fine either way) and use another mouse for the KVM switch for the other systems. One monitor, one keyboard and two mice still beats four monitors, four keyboards, and four mice. :-) -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
