I've also had excellent success with fairly inexpensive IOGear MiniView KVMs. In fact, I'm typing this through one right now. I've used 2-port, 4-port and 8- port, and have never had an issue, running both FreeBSD and Windows through them. I've used a Cat5 extender (from StarTech, IIRC) with the 8-port version with no problem. By contrast, some 2- and 4-port LinkSys KVMs I tried a few years ago were consistently flakey. I did try a StarTech KVM once, and it had some problems that retired it to the spare equipment cabinet. It was not the model Tamouh had success with, but a wired model that was set up to handle both PS/2 and USB keyboards and mice. (Most seem to be one or the other.) It seemed like a good idea at the time. -- Jerry Dunham Volunteer, Etosha Rescue & Adoption Center Volunteer, American Black & Tan Coonhound Rescue [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
