KVM Switch

[Don Calfa]

Not trying to flame here but it seems that those who do have Belkins 
that seem to work have intermittent problems thus making Belkin 
unreliable.  You know, even their monitor extentions allow noise.  I 
have seen some Belkin KVM's that do work but the features are 
unreliable.  We've ordered many Belkin products for our customers.  In 
regards to the KVM switches, we've had to return most of them due to the 
mouse dropping out.  Only way to regain was to reboot the server.

The only Belkin KVM that gave minimal problems was the F1D208-OSD and it 
would drop the OSD settings even if on battery backup.  Thats still 
unreliable.

Another plug for IOgear.  No issues other than it works, and their cable 
kits are properly shielded.
