Subject:	SCOUG-Help: KVM for eCS...?

Content Type: text/plain

Hello,
I've used a KVM switch for some time now to switch between an eCS machine and a XP
box. It works well and I have no complains. I use a Starview 2 port PS/2 DVI switch,
model number SV221DVI.

The only complaint I've ever had was my shock at the price, when I had to buy a new
switch (this one), because I upgraded my system from a CRT monitor to a LCD with DVI
output. The digital KVM switches are (were) significant more expensive than the analog
ones.
