I'd think you'd want a real server OS to be able to work reliably with a switchbox. So, if W2K can't handle switchboxes, it isn't a real server OS. Tony

So I found a switchbox with mouse and keyboard emulation so the PC doesn't see it vanish. Now Win2k just loses the mouse acceleration. :-/ The very expensive switchboxes are better at this, and so is "proper" server hardware. My old no-name motherboard doesn't like the PS/2 mouse disappearing at all and my Asus motherboard isn't a great deal better. However, I found that all the Dell Poweredge servers I've worked on don't care at all, no matter what OS is running. Wade.
