I run my server thru an inexpensive KVM switch box. The only trick is, my
switch box has a serial mouse connection, and, as you know, the Multia has
PS/2 mouse. I have to plug a PS/2 mouse directly to the Multia, but I just
stick the mouse out of the way. It's working fine like this... 

******For all Multia users******
You might want to try the Multia-Users mailing list too. Seems like a pretty
decent list. (So far. I've only been on it for about a month now...)
 Here's how you get to it...

try sending an email to:

majordomo@explode.unsw.edu.au

with the text "subscribe multia-users" in the BODY of the email.
