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).
