Most KVMs have keyboard short cuts that allow you to jump to the machine
you want without having to hit a button on the KVM. And the IOGEAR KVM
I recently installed does not even have a button on it. You hit
ctrl-shift-alt and the number of the port you want to use (1 through 4).
The Belkins have a similar hot key method also, hit scroll lock twice
then 0 followed by the port number.
