Thanks for all the sugessions , what I wound up doing is disconnecting the
viedo cable , mouse , and leaving a keyboard attached , it works well , I
ssh into it to start up services and use webmin to administer it from the
other box's , I looked at what tom suggested the add in card was about 300
bucks , I'll try and get along without it for the time being. The last thing
I'm going to try is just pulling out the keyboard connector. if that does
not cause any dammage then I'm set
Thanks for all the advice.
Greg
