I ordered a new one, same make//model except with PS/2 plugs. it arrived 100% DOA. I'Ve finally found somebody willing to come over and help me. Fry's is about 12 clicks away. they have not too many. maybe an "iogear" (sp?). is there really that much diff between kvm switch? and if there is, which should I be looking for? tia, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix Twenty-six years of service to the Unix community.
