In-Reply-To: <3.0.6.32.20001023210047.007d4a90@mail.ufw2.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII List-Id: It is possible they use a KVM switch to allow one keyboard, monitor, and mouse combination to work several machines. While you may not be fond of the idea, it works very well. I have been working two machines for more then a year. I can't give you any drawbacks. I can say it saves space. It also makes it so I only have to buy one monitor. It makes it easy to control more then one machine. All the same, it is unrealistic to think they will re-install the OS of a production server for you. If that happens please send me a set of six numbers between 1 and 54 so I can win the lottery. I just don't think that will happen. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net
