Maybe what you're trying to do exceeds the USB standards? There are limits
on how long cables between USB devices can be. Is the kvm-extender a Sun one
or 3rd-party? Places like Ultraspec Cables at "http://www.ultraspec.com"
would have products to do it I think - it's a while since I bought product
from them (that'll change shortly though!) so I'm not quite sure if they
have USB extenders suitable for use with Sun's USB kbd's and mice.

Let me know if I can help more with this and I see what I can find out for
you.

Regards,

Craig.
