Right, topic says it pretty much.

Would it be possible to run a Mac on one monitor, sgi machine on another monitor, but use 1 keyboard and mouse for control WITHOUT a KVM? I had hoped there was a bit of software that could be run on both machines and as soon as you mouse over from one screen to another you switch desktops? Both machines are on the same network, and could even be connected with a cross-over cable.

Or is this cloud 9 thinking?!?

edit: I don't think teleffect runs under OS X.

Synergy http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ is the official successor to teleffect. It's in nekoware and works fine for me. Windows, Mac, Linux and other versions are on Sourceforge.
