RE: GLUG: Off Topic: Switch box

[Neil Gouws <NEILG@xxxxxxxxx>]

Try giving these guys a call, they should be able to help you.

Diagrams & Kit Form for various components :
Communica JHB		: 011 - 333 7975
I think they also have a branch in Pretoria

SwitchBoxes
Lightedge Technology Midrand 	: 011 - 315 6680

We also use a switchbox, ATEN CS-1380 ( Master View Plus KVM Switch ) that
we bought from LightEdge to run 8 servers. In general it works fine although
I have found that if you boot more than one machine at a time the mouse &
keyboard doesn't work. Try booting the machines, but 1 at a time and make
sure that the right "port" is selected. Meaning that you sit and view the
reboot.

Hope they can help you ....

Cheers
