I've had the same kinds of problems with belkin 2-port KVMs as well...I've had
them mangle the KB sometimes, too. ick. At home I have a 4-port Cybex KVM
that works quite well, and it uses ctrl-ctrl-<station #>-enter to switch
machines. much less annoying then the scroll-lock thing, and I've also never
had it mangle my input devices :)
