You need to replace the #9745 (or #9721 on older 170's) two line WAN IOA with a #9720 Base WAN/Twinax IOA. You will need to order the #9720 as a #2720 and instruct the IBM technician to place it the slot that is currently occupied by the #9745. Once this is installed, you wil be able to attach a twinax terminal as the console. Michael J.

I would get a 3489 and a nice SVGA(21") monitor(just kidding about monitor) This would give you several sessions and printer support and it very rarely fails. This assumes you got a twinax port. Under $1,000 new. Under 600 used. +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +--- +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
