Description: *Excellent* 4 port KVM switch from Trendnet. What sets this KVM apart from the rest is the fact that _all_ connections are on the back of the unit, thus avoiding the "octopus" effect with the keyboard and mouse connections in the front and the individual PC connections in the back. The unit supports both hotkey switching and button switching. The 4 buttons on the front of the unit of course are located below the twin Red and Green indicator LED's. (Red is displayed if the PC is powered up, Green is displayed for the PC that is active.)

Unlike other KVM's that I've used from other manufacturers, which could get "confused" if you switched between Linux and Windows and would force a reboot, this unit just doesn't care what each box is running, and has never failed to successfully switch from one box to another. Current price (March 2004) is about $60. Even if you don't need 4 ports, I'd recommend buying this over a 2 port model anyday, due to its qualify and the fact that more often than not, you _someday_ will acquire a 3rd machine if you haven't already. -- J.W.
