RE: IPL Error

["D.W." <dpalme@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think I got it, I changed the address on the console device to 0 and
it now shows connecting to qctl and dsp01.

I'm going to try an IPL and see what happens.

It's a rather funny device and only comes active when in certain service

situations.  Everyone's QCONSOLE is set to online(*no).

This is probably a stupid question, but does "Online at IPL *NO" mean
that 
the terminal is not on during IPL? And if so wouldn't that prevent it
from 
being detected?
