RE: Remote AS/400 Console

[Neil Palmer <npalmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A year or so ago IBM did have a Remote Console or Remote Control Panel
product available, but it was only for OS/2.

They have now replaced that with a newer product that I believe works
for OS/2 and Win95.
HOWEVER - it MAY only work on the new RISC AS/400's.
Apparently it allows you to take complete control of the control panel
to do such things as changing IPL source, doing a main storage dump, go
into SST, work with disk & ASP configs, activate mirroring, checking SRC
displays etc. etc., 
Anyway, I'd check with IBM.

        One of my customer would like to dial in to his AS/400 from home
and do
        a SAVSYS, SAVNONSYS and SAVDLO and IPL the systems.

        Does anyone know how to do this?? Any special software required
on the
        PC side?

        Please respond to my email at mitch@elcamino.com
