That's OK, all we want it for is to access the server while we are in
front of it while others are using the Monitor and Keyboard in the other
room.  If it goes belly up, we can always do the ROM thing to get direct
access if we need to be right in front of the rack (like when the Sun
Engineer comes out for service) and reboot when we are ready to give
control back to the keyboard.

Thanks... good idea with the setenv.
