They're kind of expensive too :( I know of 2 sellers of them in Australia https://www.lindy.com.au/online/arrshop.exe?af=3D570&as=3D39401&az=3D1&ai= =3D1079483 http://www.dcw.com.au/products/kvm.htm Rose Electronics makes the one DCW sell.. http://www.rose.com/htm/ultralink-Lite.htm Although it seems there are plenty to choose from (eg Belkin, Cylades, Adde= r=20 etc) I haven't used any because they're too pricey :) (Still since serial BIOS mobos are rare/expensive it's probably the cheaper= =20 option for a bunch of machines). You could kernel debug over it except you couldn't cut and paste which woul= d=20 suck for reporting back traces. =2D-=20 Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C --nextPart4222545.pX2VI1cK6k Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBCbZ3m5ZPcIHs/zowRAlsaAJ9jcrf4E9PC39A18lxzKc1PH64cagCeNNhn LkQnw+uHwdoMb8sBzQl3qoI= =zaFw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart4222545.pX2VI1cK6k--
