I have several 4MB vs2000s with dead displays (the dreaded 'flashing
led' error condition).  I would like to use the vs2000s as headless
NNStat devices around my campus.

Is there a way to tell the vs2000 to use it's serial port for the
console at power-up?  Once I get Ultrix 4.0 loaded, I'll just use
telnet to talk to them.
