Greg, I *think* I might know what's going on. It's just a guess, but
these switches are usually powered through the PS/2 ports. The serial
port you're trying to use with it does not power devices like a PS/2
port. That could be gumming up the works...?
-- spammage trappage: replace fishies_ with yahoo I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. To jump to the end of the story, as a result of this I need a bone marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor: http://www.abmdr.org.au/ http://www.marrow.org/
