They're kind of expensive too :( I know of 2 sellers of them in Australia https://www.lindy.com.au/online/arrshop.exe?af=570&as=39401&az=1&ai=1079483 http://www.dcw.com.au/products/kvm.htm Rose Electronics makes the one DCW sell.. http://www.rose.com/htm/ultralink-Lite.htm Although it seems there are plenty to choose from (eg Belkin, Cylades, Adder etc) I haven't used any because they're too pricey :) (Still since serial BIOS mobos are rare/expensive it's probably the cheaper option for a bunch of machines). You could kernel debug over it except you couldn't cut and paste which would suck for reporting back traces. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C
