A coworker has a 2 port mini made by Inland that uses <scroll >lock> <scroll lock> <up arrrow> as its hotkeys. > >K Same here, my KVM also uses the scroll lock to turn on all of its switch by keyboard options. It's a "Sitecom" unit. Can't help with telling you where to get one of those - I got mine at a computer fair that you're highly unlikely to be near ;-) http://www.northamber.com/catalogue/view_product.asp?sku=SCKV006&sid=inactive Mine's the 2 port - the 4 port linked above was the number 1 suggestion from Google for "Sitecom kvm switch". PS Been looking at a couple of other pages at the prices. I got my KVM for about £20-£25. The online prices seem mostly more. Ouch! If you live in the UK, you might be near one of the places these people go to : www.afm96.co.uk Pete Lilleyman alishas.dontspam.addict@blueyonder.co.getrid.uk (please get rid of ".getrid" to reply direct) (don't get rid of the dontspam though ;-)
