I even skip that.  Most of the 3100s (and uVAX in general) can be booted 
and run headless.  So when I need to connect to mine I use a VT1200 Xterm
over the network and I suppose a PC could be configured for that.  That 
reduces the working system to a pizza box somewhere in the room on the 
network.
