The subject says it. I want to put my MV3100 into an ISP rack as a
webserver. The drawback is that normally there must be a terminal
connected, or the machine won't boot. Later, the terminal can be
unplugged without problem (but not switched off -> instant crash).

As I understand, the terminal has some kind of "I'm here" signal.
Can this be faked by soldering some wires of an MMJ plug together,
or can it otherwise be faked?

Thanks for ideas...

Wolfgang
