Although you will not have keyboard or mouse functionality at the physical level, you /should/ be able to control everything though a VNC session. I have sometimes forgotten to set my KVM appropriately when rebooting -- and the KVM I use doesn't have keyboard or mouse emulation -- so in essence, the machine was booted without a keyboard or mouse. I actually had to fire up a VNC session to properly shut it down. Then again, it may depend on your hardware -- the best bet is just to give it a try. --Adam _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
