Hi,

I'm trying to setup a brand new Alphastation 600 5/333 as a headless server.
So far I've removed the graphics card and the sound card (not really needed
in a server). A quick browse of the manual didn't reveal the usual 'this is
how to run it without the graphics' section, the only thing of interest was
the 'alternate console' jumper.

I've moved this jumper and powered the system on while a terminal was
plugged in. I've tried both 9 pin serial ports and with and without a null
modem cable but nothing appears on the terminal.

Suggestions accepted :-)
