It at least attempts to talk to it if the machine doesn't have a video card... We recently got some headless DPW500a's. When switching them over to SRM, I found that the alphabios would spew unintelligable garbage out the 0th serial port when I connected it to a kermit session running in vt100 mode at 9600,8,n,1. I gave up this approach & temporarily put a powerstorm into them just to switch consoles. Perhaps if I had been using a different terminal type...
