I would highly recommend avoiding Belkin like the plague for some (and more) of the reasons Doug talks about. They don't seem to have the proper emulation down yet. Look into Cybex or PowerReach.

On two occassions the switch stopped sending keyboard input to the four servers (3 NT, 1 Linux). The only way to get keyboard input to the NT boxes was plug an actual keyboard in. Ultimately I had to restart each server with the Belkin set on that port in order for the server and Belkin (and/or Windoze) to recognize each other. Can you say very angry that I have to reboot servers in order to reset a belkin? -- Regards, Doug > On Thu, Sep 27, 2001 at 03:15:17PM -0700, Joey Garcia wrote: > > > > Hello! > > > > I was needing a recomendation on a KVM switch which would be compatible > > with FreeBSD.
