Re: RE: Secondary console in QCTL

["Mike Naughton" <mnaughton@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As a follow-up question, I understand that this will work, but can someone
explain why it is necessary to do this in QINTER? If the device is
available when QCTL comes up, why doesn't QCTL just grab it?

I'm just trying to get a better understanding of how all this works.
Thanks!
