Excellent. Thanks Malcolm. I have a case all ready for that one
and a position on a KVM switch. I'm off to get another KVM
tomorrow for the others, gotta go to Auckland anyway and I decided
against going broadband with Wired Country so I have a little to
spend. Dial-up will do for a bit longer.

No problems...arrrgh..run them headless and use VNC, much easier.
You can wind the colour down to 256 colours and get some more
performance points out of it.

I have zero experience with VNC, wouldn't even know how to go about
it. <G>

What gear is needed? Should I be getting an ethernet switch with
more ports instead of a KVM?

Told you I have no experience with it.

It's a remote access program to control the PC. Have a look here and
d/l it... http://www.realvnc.com/ It runs as a server application
over your network. On a main machine you run the viewer and it brings
up the desktop.

Thanks, figured it was something like that.

I'm about to try out Win 98SE's legendary capabilitiy for handling
hardware-change. I'm gonna replace an Intel BX chipset board with a Via one
and see if a 98 install can handle it Ok.
