Re: Twinax A/B Switch

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!)

I've looked all over, and the only ones I've found require you to sign
off from one machine before you switch to the other. If you switch
before signing off, you'll get a console error.

Bringing in a new iSeries and for a time want to use a single console
between it and existing AS400.  Black box has something that allows for
this($75), however only one session is allowed "active" at a time, no "hot
swapping" between them.  Is there any product out there you all are using to
accomplish this?
