Re: Comments on Thin Consoles

However, none of our thin clients are Twinax.

Not looking for a twinax thin client.
Looking to replace a twinax terminal acting as "system console"
with a Thin Console (which I beleive plugs into HMC port?)
When the box ipl's during an upgrade, the Thin Console has to be
recognized as "system console".
I have no need for thin clients out in the user area (we thew out
a couple brands of thin clients 2 years ago - kept dropping connection).

Hi Jim,

We have a mix of ET2000 and Capio thin clients on site.  I personally
like them a lot better than PCs because they're easier to control and
maintain.  Also another bonus - no XP/2000 licenses to purchase!

However, none of our thin clients are Twinax.  They all run to our L2/L3
switches throughout the Plants on a 100BT connections (Fiber for the
main trunks).

Two questions:
1. Looking for comments from actual users of Thin Consoles
now available. Good & Bad.
Old pc is not an option.
Small shop (no tech onsite) deciding if wanting to keep the
100% always available twinax console. (owner actually said
"I want something more modern looking....")

2. What does it take to change a i5 520 from twinax console
to Thin Console?
