Heh. Well, what're you waiting for??? Network 'em and get
SSH or SSH2 installed and get the client for whatever O/S
your other machine is and install it. 

OTOH, recently my RedHat box was so unstable and
hard-locking that I couldn't even SSH into it. IT turns out
that one of the two processors was bad and eventually, it
wouldn't even boot all the way with that processor
installed. :-/ Removing the bad processor took care of all
my problems, including any heat-related ones. :-)
