Not quite what you asked for, but in some ways nicer as long as you already have the other box: http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/. yum install synergy on the FC5 side; download and install the windows version and pick one the other keyboard to use all the time. It will make the two machines work like one double-headed host and even cut and paste will work across them. I run it with 2 monitors on my desktop and have it configured so when my laptop is on the network it also connects and is controlled by the same keyboard/mouse just by moving the mouse pointer off that side of the center screen. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
