I've seen lots of hangs associated with KVM switches.

I thought then about buying one of those switches, Peter. A "KVM" switch, is that what it's called (keyboard, video, mouse)? I don't remember for sure. The situation improved before I got around to it, but I'm thinking about it again now. How did it work for you? --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7313 /* The creditors are a superstitious sect, great observers of set days and times. -Poor Richard */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Farley, Peter x23353 Sent: Friday, March 20, 2020 13:01 FWIW, my WFH setup for many years now includes an MS Natural keyboard and a comfortable Logitech gaming mouse that I use a USB3 switch to change between my small work laptop, large home desktop and medium-sized home laptop. IOGear makes the USB3 switch, which can handle up to 4 inputs switched among up to 4 CPU's. My 27 inch Dell monitor has multiple HDMI and DisplayPort inputs so I can switch the screen among all my machines. Lots of cables of course, but it has been well worth it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
