Oh, that's interesting, Jack...
I had an Compaq Presario tower (vintage 2003/4) that booted fine without a keyboard/mouse... Try locating the latest BIOS for your machine at the vendor's site. You might get lucky.

I was referring to the X Server that comes with Cygwin. You can configure it to take connections from X clients (aka UNIX GUI Applications) running remotely.
I've actually never tried that. SOunds useful.

Ah, you're going the other way, John...
Besides Telnet and Hyperterminal, John, there's a toolkit called Putty which is also available on the web. Putty lets you move files, etc... Look into that.

I used xterm on Windows years ago but it was just command line. You can use it like PCAnywhere now? (to see the desktop?)
