RE: How do you get to your remote console in a DR situation?

SNA Dial up to the ECS from our local AS400.  STRPASTHR.  Dial up with
analog phone line work no matter what the LAN is doing.  Now if you
loose all Telco at the remote site do to some cable cut, you call your
local travel agent or sit it out and keep trying to dial.  My new
challenge is to get this working on a new 520 that has yet to be
delivered.  I will need to get a dial up connection to it's internal
modem which does not do SNA. 

I love change/challenges.

I would like you to consider as part of your DRP plan the following;
will there be a way to get in as a console operator?  If there is a
network error, either the network itself or if the Ethernet line on the
remote iSeries is down, how would you get to the machine to answer any
messages, investigate etc?
