Thanks for mentioning this.  I'm guessing this is the problem with my
IO Gear 2-port USB KVM, since the keyboard/mouse only goes bye-bye
when they are flipped to the mouse and left idle for two long.

Will have to check OS X's power settings to see if I can work around
it.  My current work around is to leave them flipped over to the
Solaris 10 box, since that was much easier than unplugging/replugging
both cables on both computers.
