that's all we've ever used.  (for the console that is)  i was tempted to
try the client access console or whatever at a couple of new installs
this past year, but decided to go with what we knew.  and after the
prior thread, i'm sure glad i didn't.  with the twinax console, you're
up in 30 minutes!
