Actually, the few times we've lost power, one of the two Windows 2000 Servers I have plugged into an older KVM switch (which doesn't do emulation) has no keyboard or mouse. When I switch the KVM over to it, naturally, keyboard and mouse do not work because they were not detected during boot. However, when I VNC into it, keyboard and mouse function perfectly. I guess is all depends on 1) the hardware, and 2) the OS. -Adam _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
