HG>DS> my BBS software (Virtual Advanced, aka VADV) and OS (Windows XP,   
   HG>DS> SP3), I can't run that ham radio packet door, as originally planned.   
   HG>DS> But, a fellow ham radio operator is going to see about getting me   
   HG>DS> set up with a telnet deal to logon to his site, where licensed hams   
   HG>DS> can access the state packet network. He lives in the Broken Arrow,   
   HG>DS> Oklahoma area (near Tulsa), and is heavily into ham radio and   
   HG>DS> computer stuff, such as packet, FLDIGI, PSK, etc.   
      
   HG>To me it would seem logical to get hold of an old computer to run packet   
   HG>radio and other digital modes on. You don't even have to have a separate   
   HG>monitor for that.   
      
   HG>Instead you can use one keyboard, one mouse and one monitor to control   
   HG>both machines via a KVM switch. If the mouse plugs don't match the ones   
   HG>on the compute(s), there are adapters avaiable for serial/PS2 plugs.   
      
   HG>That will be like having one machine doing both jobs.   
      
   HG>And if you want both machines to connect to Internet do it via a router.   
      
      
   I ran a KVM switch for many years, Worked Great.
