Hi biju,

Try using console switch. In this switch you need to put the ends of the
keyboard, mouse, and monitor to the com port. Connect your machines to the
machine provisions of the switch and connect the respective cables to your
systems. Using the switch, you will be able to switch over to the machine which
one you want to work on without changing the cables and no need for remote
administration also.

thanks and regards,
Vijay.N

Hi,
    I dont know whether this is the proper site for posting this.But i am
sure that defenitely someone must have an answer to my problem. I
have two machines which runs linux 5.2 .now the problem .is there
any hardware available in the market by which i can control both
these machines with a single keyboard, mouse & a single monitor?
My plan is to make one machine as the development mac. &
the other one a test mac.

TIA
Biju
