RE: OP's Console on V5R2

Vern and others, appreciate the feedback.  Will try to investigate some
more...  However, this seems at first glance to be an awful lotta issues to
deal with, to get a console working.  Remote Console /may/ be worth the
effort and there may be other capabilities not available on twinax console
I'm not aware of...  If I *knew* I'd have the kind-a luck Jeffry Kennedy had
getting it to work on first go-round, I wouldn't be so hesitant.

| I've had good luck with Ops Console, been running it with little
| difficulty
| for almost a year. The main issue at first was the IP subnetwork. Ops
| Console insists on 192.168.0.x, so the client PC has to have _ITS_ IP
| address in some other subnet, like 192.168.1.x .
|
| There have been some problems with where the card resides. The 2271 needs
| to be in C07 on a 270. This stuff is documented in some Info
| APAR, I think.
|
| There have been a couple times the server did not seem to
| recognize things,
| esp. after disconnect and reconnect of the Ops Console cable, but a *FULL
| IPL seems to have helped.

| All in all, I'm very happy with it.
|
| BTW, we are running the console on Win 2K at SP4, after Larry
| Bolhuis sent
| me the MS fix for remote servers.
