>Which of IBM's current console approaches do you guys recommend (or not)? 
We
>are hoping to get a new system (maybe 870) that will run several LPARs
>(about 5, all OS/400). 

For current hw I would suggest LAN-based Operations Console. That way you 
can use one pc for up to 26 systems/partitions (I might be wrong on that 
one). Lan attached op.cons requires a dedicated Ethernet adapter/LPAR but 
the alternative is having five different pc's/ twx terminals depending on 
connection type.
Personally VGA/Keyboard/Rodent support-switches scares me because of their 
habit to go out of order when I'm running the system/partition in 
dedicated mode so I try to avoid them.
I like op.cons most for the easy way of documenting things done at the 
console - cut and paste to wordpad or alike.
Documentation always makes my customers happy.
