One tip for PS2 KVM's: sometimes you can just unplug-plug the PS2 device
from the KVM and the connected box will see it again.  That is, unplug the
keyboard or mouse from the KVM, not the connection to the destination box

Goes against everything I've learned about playing with PS2 devices, but
this has worked for two different KVM brands for me so far (Belkin and a
Fugi Plus (?)).

Hope this helps,

Ron
