The question is: can I gain access without one?

The system with no keyboard is 4.8, the rub is it is configured with an IP
address not on the LAN. I have physical access to the system.

I tried: "route add 204.156.12.157 -interface ep0" and sorta got what I wanted.

netstat -rn -f inet
Routing tables

Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags    Refs      Use  Netif Expire
default            192.168.0.1        UGSc       26        4    ep0

192.168.0          link#6             UC          1        0    ep0
192.168.0.1        00:20:ea:1f:40:b4  UHLW       27        0    ep0    858
204.156.12.157     00:00:86:5a:85:8e  UHLS        0        8    ep0

I can tell from the mac adrs that is the correct system. I also have a
cross-over cable.

Can I get there from here?
