Yes, I know about it, but it is _really_ expensive, so it is cheaper to plug a 
monitor/keypad in the server.
I'm thinking about vnc/krdc - maybe is this a solution for testing?

For signs like ... I'm not able to paste them, because they do not work now, 
I'm in an nx-session...
AltGr+"Q" = @
AltGr+"E" = the euro-sign
AltGr+"+" = the "snake/wave"-sign
AltGr+"<" = the vertical line I need for using "xyz ... grep something"
AltGr+"ß" = backslash
and others.
These AltGr-combinated signs do not work now.
