Can 386 boxes run SCO Xenix without a keyboard and console monitor?
In other words I'd like to set up a small LAN of 386 boxes on an
Ethernet and communicate with them only through remote logins.

Do I save anything this way besides not having to buy the hardware?
In other words does the OS save cycles not having to poll the keyboard,
refresh the displays, etc. or is all that activity inherent whether
the I/O hardware is there to receive the data or not?

Thanks,
