At college next year I want to use my IIci as a headless server. Dorms
are small, and I already have a 7100 with a 17" monitor... I was
thinking I could bring just the IIci itself (with Ethernet card and
NetBSD installed, but no monitor, keyboard, or mouse) to school,
daisy-chain it to the 7100 with an EtherWave adapter, and administer the
NetBSD system over a null modem cable from the 7100 via ZTerm or
PPP&Telnet.

I've read in the FAQ that a fairly cheap SVGA adapter can allay NetBSD
by simulating the presence of a monitor. Does a IIci (internal video)
need one of these? If so, what kind and where to get one? I have a
Portrait monitor and card as well, BTW...

Do EtherWave adapters "just work", or do they require MacOS drivers?
(meaning they wouldn't work in my config...)

I've never used X before, so this isn't really a major point of
contention for me, but could I get color X on the 7100 this way? If so,
how?

Thanks for any help.
