Thierry, Take a look at the Belkin OmniView series, quite cheap lots of different options, expandable and they also have a nice keyboard shortcut to switch boxes (Hit Scroll Lock twice then up/down arrows).. I've been real happy with mine.. Oh, they make 2 versions, one supports MS Intellimouse the other doesn't, that's one of the big differences although prices seem the same.. Hope this helps.. -- Steve Kaczkowski Time Warner Telecom IDD steve@inc.net (414)908-9012 http://www.inc.net (603)737-9209 Fax To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
