A couple of nights ago we had a grand thunderstorm here. My systems are all on Tripp UPS devices, so they never even so much as flicker, but we had a strike maybe 30 feet from the house and we all felt it. A little later I checked the logs and noticed my console (an true blue IBM console) was reporting failures. I powered it off, varied the controller and it seemed to be okay, but today it started acting up again. It would connect, be okay, then cycle out. I replaced it with a standby Lynx model, but that's it for that poor machine.

So, while dumb tubes are reliable, they aren't immortal. And thus comes the issue. I'm on my last backup terminal. I don't know if I want to buy a couple more; they're cheap enough, but they do take up space. Can I take my model 270 with V5R4 and use a LAN console with it? It's a 9406-270, 22A4 feature code, if that helps anyone.
