It is still terrible. > The console connection has to work even if os400 is not loaded on the system. So the protocol code must make a minimum of system calls. Probably no system calls. If that is the case, adding any requirement other then "connect at ipl" probably does more harm in the form of possible bugs and problems then it is worth.
