Well I have been using swithes from NTI, a great company when it comes to
fool proof switching.  They have excellent cust. service and the hardware it
top notch.  They all (most) have a Remote, so you can have the switch box
out of sight, mounted somewhere where the cables wont be an eye sore. and
have the remote on the desktop.  The range from 2 port to 32 port and are
relavitly in-expencive.  I am not sure on the exact price, works buys
them... :-)


Hope this helps,

Ivan Morrison
