RE: HMC & remote console

I found out that the 5250 telnet client from an existing 5250 session, you 
know, TELNET RMTSYS(HMC01) PORT(2300) does not currently work.  Seems that 
the HMC has a problem with the protocol from that telnet client.  Turns 
out that IBM believes that the telnet client follows the protocol (barely) 
so they will update the HMC to work right with that client.

For the archives I then used my iSeries Access 5250 to go directly.  Some 
set up issues:
Communications, Configuration, System name:  Use either the hmc dns name 
(mine was hmc01) or it's IP address
Communications, Configuration, System name, Properties button:  "Use 
default user id, prompt as needed"  User id=Q#HMC.  Allows the hmc to use 
that client and bypass iSeries Access for Windows 5250 licensing 
requirements.
Communications, Configuration Port number:  Use 2300
