RE: HMC or LAN Console

Heh!  Part of the problem even with the HMC is the operators need o see
the consoles all the time, so even on our HMC'ed systems we need PC's
for them to Telnet (on that annoying port 2300) to the HMC.  If there
are moe than 4 consoles on a given PC, it's really pretty difficult to
see what's going on.  

We are moving more and more to automation, but still having a console
(even if only a PC talking to the HMC) is important. 

We have that NASA look down, for sure.

Not bad compared to the several twinax terminals we had to have laying 
around to support all the terminals going belly up.  And I'd hate to see

the space used up in a machine room with 24 twinax terminals that could
be 
replaced with 1 hmc.  Unless one has a fondness for the NASA look.
