Re: Twinax A/B Switch

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

All the ones I've seen too are simple physical switches (unlike intelligent
KVMs that keep each host thinking a keyboard and mouse is still there.) As
such, flipping the switch is exactly the same as moving a cable: One system at
a time.

The only choice I've ever seen that works is the Migration Data Link. It
connects to both systems and allows you to switch between them.  Wanna rent
mine? (Offline please!)
