I forgot to clarify - I'm thinking about getting a old MAC keyboard which has loads of extra buttons that I'm sure the OS will pass through..

FWIW my AB552A is USB with a PS/2 adapter.

HP's price is very high. Don't know if they still deliver them.
I've tried to use the PS2-style LK keyboards connected through a PS2 - USB dongle with my zx6000 with no luck.

I've got this kit (keyboard and mouse) connected to my rx2600. It's nothing special. I found the keys to be very stiff and "clicky". I actually keep a stash of LK411 keyboards around as the action is much softer than any keyboard I've managed to find thus far. I even have one on my PA-RISC 712/100.
Regards, Tim.
Thanks Brian,
I am out of the UK on business until mid next week. So will sort the info you require then.
Many thanks, Mark

Mark,
Once you have a proper image on your 1800 you can do the following
things to get in on the auto tunnel config tool stuff.
on your router add these:
access-list 10 permit 37.59.44.141
snmp-server community <snmp-community-name> RW 10
Then I'll need the following information from you:
Your external IP Addres:
Your external FQDN:
Is this a dynamic IP:
