I've only installed one, but would agree with Lukas's observations. At the time (december) Neoware had no documentation mentioning an iSeries/System i, and IBM had minimal mention of this product. System came shipped with twinax as console - had to use front panel to alter. This is not Neoware's fault, but watch the IBM order - if it has twinax controller, they may "assume" twinax console. btw-would have politically killed the deal to use a twinax console... Neoware unit lost contact twice with system over 4 day period, and was powered by UPS (never plug your console into the wall!) Having said that - I love the idea of a non-twinax, non-windows, very simple setup console. The problem I see is that a console should be a "quality" product, in fact every access device to a system should be a quality product. Cheap cr*p has no place here. My only concern with products IBM has not blessed is maintaining compatibility. Been burned more than once. jim franz----- Original Message ----- From: "Lukas Beeler" <l.beeler@xxxxxxxxxxx>
