I've tried that several times.  Deleting all ops console connections, then
using the setup wizard to create new ones.  However when I get to the form
that prompts for the type of function needed, the 'Console Only' radio
button is disabled.  The wizard won't let me set up a console!  Argh!

I wonder if the setup wizard attempts to communicate with the AS/400 on the
other end of the cable, and enables the function type radio buttons
according to what it reads?

I first configured the laptop two years ago using IBM's EZ-Setup program
which is used to configure a new iSeries system.  Since that time I've
upgraded Client Access to a newer release, so my older version of EZ-Setup
refuses to run, unless I uninstall Client Access, first.
