with Win 95, no problems so far (w/Edimax)
If Andrew is right, that may be another reason for sticking with Win 95 (or Win98) -- my Win desktop has to be able to work reliably with a switchbox.
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.

No problems here, 2 servers running W2K Server SP2, Belkin OmniCube 4 port KVM.
Works just dandy.

You'd think so, wouldn't you?
However, with a purely mechanicial switchbox, Win2k would lose the keyboard and the mouse. Windows 95b didn't. 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.

Remember, people in 1900 didn't know what an atom was. They didn't know its structure.
They also didn't know what a radio was, or an airport, or a movie, or a television, or a computer, or a cell phone, or a jet, an antibiotic, a rocket, a satellite, an MRI, ICU, IUD, IBM, IRA, ERA, EEG, EPA, IRS, DOD, PCP, HTML, internet. interferon, instant replay, remote sensing, remote control, speed dialing, gene therapy, gene splicing, genes, spot welding, heat-seeking, bipolar, prozac, leotards, lap dancing, email, tape recorder, CDs, airbags, plastic explosive, plastic, robots, cars, liposuction, transduction, superconduction, dish antennas, step aerobics, smoothies, twelve-step, ultrasound, nylon, rayon, teflon, fiber optics, carpal tunnel, laser surgery, laparoscopy, corneal transplant, kidney transplant, AIDS... None of this would have meant anything to a person in the year 1900. They wouldn't know what you are talking about.
