Problem 3: 3a, easily solved: When the computer without a mouse A falls
asleep, the other computer B won't wake it up afaict.  So I need to keep
a mouse connected to A all the time.  That's fine. 
           3b, earlier today, A fell asleep, the mouse woke it up, but
the cursor would not leave B to go to A!!  I could do mouse things with
the mouse but I could not type!   For 1 or 2 hours!!    I made notes in
an email to send to the other computer, to go to various programs. 
               Finally it started working again!

When I had my first problem I wrote them and they were to call back in
24 hours. I think their time limit is soon to arrive.   This latest
problem is pretty much what the first problem was.
