using VNC with a monitor-less PC ?

[Scott LeFevre]

Look at the BIOS settings.  Some systems allow you to configure them so they
don't complain about not having a keyboard or mouse.  I'm not sure that would
translate into Windows allowing keyboard mouse input without having them
physically connected.

this is my first post so please forgive me, I'm in a similar situation I
have a remote server (NT 4.0) and would love to remove both mouse and
keyboard, somebody keeps knocking down the keyboard and mouse and whenever
the server is rebooted it stops during POST so my question is: has anyone
found a way to plug some kind of device in both keyboard and mouse to fake
their presence?
Thanks

I currently have both an NT box and a Win98 box working just as you've
described with one exception:  the keyboard.  Having said that, I just
plugged the keyboard from the NT box and saw no adverse affects while using
VNC.
