DirectX... Or Dual Boxing on a budget...

In the distant past I dual/triple boxed CoH, I did this because it was fun and I enjoyed doing it. I'm not into PvP and my method of playing didn't really impact on anyone else.

I've returned for GR and I'd like to start at least dual-boxing again (possibly x3). In the past I always used some software called Octopus (keyboard multiplexor) however that has been abandoned (author stopped play WoW which is what it was designed for).

So:
1)Is CoH DirectX or OpenGL, can't seem to find the info because while DirectX is apparently required the system is supposed to be OpenGL. Reason I ask is if it is DX I can use InnerSpace which has an active development and plenty of support.
2)Anyone else dual-box through software have any suggestions software wise? (Tried Keyclone but it doesn't work for CoH using two clients one PC, and I can't afford the $20/PC registration (InnerSpace is $10/5xPC), I've also had a dig around on Dual-Boxing.com but they seem even more focused on WoW than they were. Octopus may or may not work not tried it on win7 x64, and TBH if I can find a good replacement I will.

1)Damn...

2)Great Software KVM but not what I'm looking for... I might end up switching to WinXP for my CoH playing, I know octopus works for that.

OTOH I'm having issues with Input Director that I never had before and can no longer work out how to keybind an on/off button .

Whereas Octopus now works fine.
