I accidentally did a reply privately in the other thread, but since this is a new one I'll post publicly here: I think you're looking for an IP-based KVM. Ethernet or USB, really not much difference and just as prevalent on any laptop. Also there's already a market for IP-based KVMs, so you'd be able to find one. There are single-port versions like the SecureLinx Spider, Dlink KVM-410, etc... If you really need USB, get a USB/Ethernet adapter and set up a static IP on it and the KVM. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
