Lol.  I am such an idiot.  Just looked at some of the websites
recommended, saw a picture of one of these KVM switches and it
"clicked" what I assume the KVM stands for - Keyboard-Video-Mouse.
I see they have all there - I was assuming they were video only.

I notice some also have audio and/or USB.  Now I look into it
harder.

Thanks again.
