I wouldn't say always.
Stupid human trick #1. Multi session terminal. Set to wrong session.
Three IPL's later, we realize our error.
Stupid human trick #2. Sign on wrong too many times. Disabled session.
Restricted state. Did IPL to recover - the hard way.
Usual problems with twinax wiring. Now, we used a dedicated port. Since
there is no twinax outside of computer room anymore, this is not a problem.
Had a problem once with twinax controller.
Renamed command CRTDEVD to discourage any 5250 on box. Boss replaced
terminal when it fried. Different model. Deleted old model but could not
build new session. Took some SBMRMTCMD's and passthru to fix that
situation.

I'll share my opinion of a PC as the console...
Mostly the whole point of the console is for a system problem. A twinax
console ALWAYS works, always. If there's a serious system problem, you
have
to be able to get to the console. A pc running any emulation-type program
is prone to problems, or at least one more possible point of failure.
What if you're having problems with the servers? Or any other problem
which
won't let the PC connect? Or heaven forbid, there's one of those windows
problems, it could happen, ya know. :)
A word to the wise: I ordered my 170 with operations console AND the
twinax
card. Since I ordered it with Ops console and wasn't using it, there was
an
SRC on the panel always. (I forget the number) I had a terminal seemingly
working fine as the console, but Rochester informed me that it wasn't
REALLY
the console. If I had a serious problem, the system may not recognize that
it had a console at all and I could have big problems doing DR.
They got it fixed, but actually had to get on my machine to do it.
