Walden,

Very clear and concise.  Thank you.  Then it becomes a personal issue if
one would feel comfortable using a single console in a room full of 400's
during a scheduled downtime and you are doing an os upgrade on them all.

I have worked at a remote plant where the system console for their 400 was
on a different floor of the building.

Do you have a link for these KVM switches?  Are they network addressable?

What I want is a built in console connection, not a built in console. For
me
the console exists for one reason, system level operations. Where do
people
do there operations? The network operations center. Walk into any large
organizations NOC and you'll see a KVM switch. All my W2K, Linux, Unix,
Aix,
Solaris, etc. boxes plug into the KVM and I have one Keyboard one Video
and
one Mouse. Why must the iSeries be different?
