(I have a ps2 mouse and keyboard), I bought a "linksys kvm2kit" 2 port kvm switch for about $45us. I've also got a 4 port broadband router (linksys befsr41) that shares my net connection and allows me to network the 2 boxes (although I haven't set up a permanent network yet, more reading to do). The beauty of the kvm switch is it allows you to share the same keyboard, mouse and (1)monitor between 2 boxes and there is no network lag as you get w/ vnc etc. Both of my boxes run 4 or 5 diferent os's and the switch causes no problems. The router/switcher (linksys befsr41) allows easy networking between the 2 machines. ps I'm not a linksys salesman, I just sound like one today. see ya - -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/WQwABwgxlylUsJARAgUpAJ4xVw/w+TbA06jmHaMF1zBFVMo73QCfZdj2 Aw6AN7p2OaOtqdv0fiij5bk= =pg2i -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
