I got a D-Link 4 way KVM from outpost.com for $89 not too long ago. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Victor Odhner" To: Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2002 8:11 AM Subject: Re: Windows Internet Connection Sharing alandd@mindspring.com wrote: > My suggestion is to avoid the entire issue and > setup a 486 without a hard drive running a > floppy distro as a firewall/NAT box. Thanks, Alan. Two boxes will have to be my limit. The problem is that I don't have the time or the space to set up and maintain YET another box, another keyboard, another monitor ... I'm a programmer, not a sysadmin. And I have zero budget for added toys: a three-way KVM switch, with cables, would cost me $150 or so as far as I can determine. My Debian box is a Pentium 166, so it would not be a bad candidate as my front end, but then I'd risk losing my network connection any time I was tinkering with the Debian box. The Windows box is static (I doubt I'll ever move beyond Win98), so it should be a good portal if that will work. You can spend your life on this kind of thing and never get around to developing software ...
