Hi Todd,

By default, our server product allows you 'virtually' connect and disconnect USB devices as needed. The usage analogy is that using devices via Keyspan servers is like checking out a book. You check it out when you need it and put it back when you don't. We automate this process for printers today so you don't need to do anything else. There are other settings that you set (see your user manual for details) but I will outline a few here

If you have a printer, check out the AutoConnect feature. It automates the use of printers so you don't have to do anything but select print.

If you only have one computer, you can make the server act like a USB hub by putting it into 'single-user mode'. In this mode, everything is connected when your computer comes on the network.

If you want to assign a one device to a computer, you can also do that and have other devices be shared with multiple computers (ie Bob has a thumbdrive assigned only to him but Bob and other users can access other devices).

All of these settings are available today in our software. If there's a feature request you have, please contact support and state exactly what you want. We're happy to work with you.

There's also some cool new features coming our next software release. I can't talk about them yet but the new features are free to all Keyspan Server customers (either our US4A (aka the 4 port USB 1.1 server) or the U2S2A (the 2 port USB 2.0 server))

I got one in Nov07. The manual is NOT referring to USBv2 server, and I cannot use it with Vista64. I telephoned to the 1-866-739-7859 for support, and nothing could be provided. I asked for the USBv2 manual, and asked whether there is Vista64 beta software, and was quite disappointed with no help at all.
You said there would be new version of software - what's that?
