Perhaps treating the box as headless might solve the problem. Assuming 
he has an ethernet card installed, if the user could be sure to have an 
ssh server set up to run on his machine before arriving and set a static 
IP address (like 192.168.0.1), someone with a laptop with ethernet, a 
crossover cable, and an SSH client could provide the means to log in to 
this box.
