RE: [vox] teach me how to websurf

I have used the Belkin 2 port KVM switch at home for 2 years now.  It works
well.  Several friends use it.  It is on the low end of the KVM switch
stuff, but I regularly switch between my Win2k box and my Linux box with no
issues.

As to a peripheral sharing device.... why?  What are you trying to share?
Fry's has a large selection of such devices, but depending on what you are
trying to share, they may not be appropriate.  For example, laser printers
that are bi-directional are NOT good things to put on a switch box, far
better is to just network them.

I did not find your specific product, but 9+ pages of KVM equipment
might
help you to find a substitute.
