I have a Mini AirLink KVM which works fine on both eCs and Windows 2000
boxes. I use the switch to have two monitors running with one keyboard
and one mouse and switch between the monitors. I have two seperate
sessions running, one on each monitor. May not be what you want to do,
but the AirLink works on Win and eCS.
