Subject:  Re:  KVM woes, hangs on boot

Hi all,  my cheapie KVM applies an arificial load to the NON-current 
machine to ensure that the negotiation isn't lost.  This way I can boot 
a machine with NO keyboard, monitor or mouse attached yet have the 
machine boot up believing they are attached.  So when I switch over to 
that machine all works fine.  My KVM defaults to the 1st machine turned on.

Cheers

Windows isn't the answer. Windows is the question. The answer is NO!
We use and recommend Xandros Linux v3.0.1.
Linux IS user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are
