Can anyone recommend a good 4-port (or thereabout) KVM switch? I need one which can handle USB keyboard and mouse inputs, and it would be a plus (but definitely not required) if it can accommodate both USB and PS/2 outputs.
I recently tried a Belkin OmniView SOHO KVM (model no. F1DS104U), which claims to be Linux compatible, but it turned out to be rather flaky[1]. After waiting for 90 minutes on their tech support line, for a scripted-to-the-max session which I can only (charitably) describe as completely worthless, I think I'm inclined to avoid Belkin products at this point. [1] It mostly worked, but would frequently miss keystrokes (especially <CTRL>-whatever combinations), or act like a key was being held down. I did all of the usual troubleshooting (try a different keyboard, swap the cables, update the firmware, etc.), and am fairly confident that it's a firmware bug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
