I've been considering setting up something like that for where I work, since we have a bunch of systems that really shouldn't need to have monitors, keyboards, and mice connected to them. If they were all PCs, I'd just get a KVM switch, but we have a mix of PCs and Suns (and, coming soon, an HP/UX box). Have many people set things up like this? Does it work very well? What's some good (and hopefully relatively inexpensive) hardware for the job? -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ "My name is Linus / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ Torvalds.
