One feature I very much love, it allows me to have both user ports on the same computer and both keyboard/mouse can be used, very nice for training, showing things. Unfortunatly I need a 4-user KVM now, 8 computers would be still enough. I tried an Apex 4XP (1998 kvm), it doesn't allow the above feature, is 1024x768 max resolution and doesn't support handing screensaver putting the monitor into powersave through. I also tried a Raritan MX48, even with all Raritan cables, the image quality at 1280x1024 is pretty bad (example: Outlook new messages are bold black, non-new ones are black, hard to make out the difference). The Raritan also doesn't hand through the powersave for monitors. So anyone here who could recommend a KVM? -- Regards, Ulf. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ulf Zimmermann, 1525 Pacific Ave., Alameda, CA-94501, #: 510-865-0204 You can find my resume at: http://seven.Alameda.net/~ulf/resume.html
