That's exactly the model I'm using. The only problems I have are that it when I'm using "scrlck scrlck <num>" to switch ports from the keyboard, and the port I'm currently on is a FreeBSD server's text console, then it occasionally locks up after the first "scrlck" until I hit one of the physical port selection button (at which point the problem goes away for another long while). I suspect you got a bad unit, or maybe one in need of a firmware upgrade (you can flash that unit with a special serial cable). Otherwise, I absolutely love mine. Its best feature is that I can pipe 1600x1200 85hz video through it without *any* signal ghosting, color distortion, or other visual problems. Simply put, I can't tell the difference between video that's been piped through the KVM and that which was sent directly from a computer to the monitor. Give it another shot with another unit. I think you'll like it. -- Kirk Strauser In Googlis non est, ergo non est.
