What that statement means is the network daemons will be running.  If you 
don't have a NIC in the box, they won;t do much.

Yes you can run dumb terminals if you want, but make sure if you use a 
mutliport serial card it is supported.  You may also need to enable the 
gettys to run on those ports.
