I use a switch (mechanical) to switch between my server (Linux with Samba
on a P133), my Win95 (AMD K6-200) and an old 486 computer with ISDN and
some firewalling. The only problem I have is with the 486. Sometimes (i
think when I switch very fast between those machines) the 486 doesn't
response to the keyboard anymore (and after the screensaver blanks the
screen it looks dead) but everything works normally over my network. I
suppose it's a mainboard flaw.
