[AccessD] Remote keyboards and monitors

John,
A KVM unit should emulate the equipment it is replacing regardless if the
equipment is on or not. A malfunctioning KVM would not do this. I suspect
that was you problem there.

I don't know the specifics, but we were looking into a KVM type switch from
APC that looked pretty promising. It took care of a problem that we
currently run into. We have two KVM switches and every now and
then...especially on the one...we lose the mouse for a system. This isn't
good, because the system will need to be rebooted to rectify this.
APC does something differently that this does not happen.

Hi John:

We were setting up a number of sites this summer and the client had us use
KVMs for their servers. They worked great but I did not know they have
extensions that could link servers over fifty meters away or that extensions
were available. I will definitely have to look into that option. :-)

Thanks for all the info
Jim
