Re: Operations Console (was I5 systems in production)

Yes, I think that's right. There is also something in the setup manual 
about SOCKS, but I've never had that kind of setup, so never concerned 
myself with it.

The link for V5R3 is interesting, but I believe it applies only to LAN 
console - the recovery part of it cannot work when there can be only one 
connection, as is the case with Ops Console.
