Well, I guess that my intended joke did not translate well.  What I really
wanted to know was how we're going to handle the console now that IBM has
ceased production of twinax terminals.  If you have no console, how is that
supposed to work?  Others have indicated PC Anywhere usage against a PC
console, yet IBM has always discouraged utilization of a PC as console.
Again, (and seriously) ending TCP/IP would stop any device without a direct
attach.  Any ideas?
