this might be a little out of your price range for only 2 or 3 boxes, but i
bought this:

a couple of months ago and now have 8 boxes hooked up to it without a single
problem...

Subject: [TLUG]: OT - KVM switches


Hi,

Does anyone here use KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) switches? I want to have 2
separate computers hooked to a single monitor, keyboard and mouse. I've seen
a few different manufacturers with switches (Phoebe, D-Link, Zonet). Are
there any I should stay away from?

I want to have an XP box as well as a Linux box hooked up and running. I'm
using a Samsung 19" flat CRT in case that matters (1280x960 at 85Hz). Also a
Logitech keyboard and Microsoft optical mouse (USB with PS/2 adaptor with it
for the switch).

Thanks for any pointers or suggestions.

-Steve.
