Keyboards/Mice

[exec]

Hi,

We have 1 PC with 2 cloned monitors. The monitors are in seperate
offices, about 30 feet apart. What we need to do is to be able to
have each monitor have it's own keyboard & mouse to control the
screen. We are running XP.

My questions are:

1) Can you do thing with Windows configuration, or some type of
inexpensive software or hardware.

2) Since the monitors are cloned, I assume that what happens on one
happens on the other.

3) If we wanted 2 seperate monitors on the same PC, what is involved
in that?

If I could get some help, it would really be appreciated.

Thanks!

Go to an electronics store and get a KVM switch which will allow two
keyboards/mice for one computer. You'll probably have to get an
extension so that it can be used 30 feet away. I trust there are no
walls in that 30 foot span. Note that only one keyboard/mouse can be
used at a time and you can toggle between the two.

I believe you need a system with two VGA.
