About the only sure-fire way I've found is to locate the CPU in a completely different room and remote connect the keyboard/monitor/mouse to the studio. Commericial units are available that will do this nicely using Cat 5 cable. I've built lots of radio facilities using this approach. The primary drawback is cost -- a single pair of units to allow such a hookup typically runs around $500 US. One manufacturer that I've had good success with is Raritan [http://www.raritan.com/]. There are others as well. Cheers! |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| |Frederick F.
