[RTTY] Question on KVM switches

[Bill Turner]

I could use some advice on the subject of KVM switches (keyboard,
video, mouse).

I have one keyboard, monitor and mouse I want to switch between two
computers. I have been browsing Newegg's KVM switches and I see they
have hundreds of them ranging in price from about$ 20 up to several
hundreds of dollars. I don't think I need any of the real fancy ones,
but I have some questions on the simpler ones.

For instance, what is "remote switching". Several advertise that but
they don't say what it is or how it works. Also, some advertise
"scanning every ten seconds" or "every four seconds" or some such.
What is that all about?

One even advertised being able to switch by pressing the scroll lock
key twice. That sounded good. but now, of course, I cant find the same
ad a second time. Senility strikes again. :-)

Any help would be appreciated.
