   To me it would seem logical to get hold of an old computer to run packet   
   radio and other digital modes on. You don't even have to have a separate   
   monitor for that.   
      
   Instead you can use one keyboard, one mouse and one monitor to control   
   both machines via a KVM switch. If the mouse plugs don't match the ones   
   on the compute(s), there are adapters avaiable for serial/PS2 plugs.   
      
   That will be like having one machine doing both jobs.   
      
   And if you want both machines to connect to Internet do it via a router.
