RE: Operations Console Question

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

AFAIK, it will not use the second COM port. Rob is right - the switchbox is 
not usable for remote desktop or PC Anywhere types of things. We used the 
switchbox for connection from 1 Windows box to 2 iSeries, as well as an 
InterTel phone system and a DSL modem.

Tell you what, how about getting VMWare and having 2 machines on the same box?

otherwise, if you have support with IBM, give them a call - maybe they have 
a good answer.
