We've explained this a few times and you don't want to get it.
1 - Twinax terminals were unpopular for most stuff, therefore you couldn't
keep costs down by making them in quantity. How many brand new twinax
consoles have you purchased in the last few years?
2 - Attaching a twinax controller and IOP card uses up two precious slots.
Plus the costs of that equipment.
3 - Your opinion of reliable and my opinion of reliable differ widely.
4 - Twinax does not play well in a multiple lpar environment. You'd need
something like an HMC anyway.
5 - It's impossible to attach remotely to a "real" twinax terminal.
6 - Remote service is enhanced when IBM has availability into something
like an HMC.
Much of this applies to a direct attach KVM. Granted a good KVM gives you
remote capabilities, but doesn't solve all the issues. Even with an HMC I
do not usually use it "hands on" - even in the same room. I access it
remotely. I was accessing mine remotely while at my LUG this morning.
Doing a RCLSTG, full system save, etc while out of town.
