We would like to stick with one monitor per rack. We currently use 4 Port DIN and PS2 Data switches to switch the monitor and keyboards. I looked around the web and found 8 ports for like $350! My questions is, is there any generic data switch with lots of ports. We don't need anything to simulate a keyboard in case of server boot, etc because we can dissable keyboard checks in bios. Any help is greatly appreciated. Dev Chanchani - INetU, Inc.(tm) - http://www.INetU.net dev@inetu.net - Ph: (610) 266-7441 - Fx: (610) 266-7434 Web Development - Electronic Commerce - Web Hosting
