How far apart are these systems from each other? I ask because, while we only have two, we only use one twinax terminal for both, relying on an A-B-C switch from Blackbox. That solution only works, of course, if the systems are pretty close, and the odds of needing a console for both at the same time are pretty slim.

Another alternative, which I intend to implement one of these days, is to set up a LAN console. In fact, if I understood a friend of mine who explained and demo-ed the process to me, one can define multiple LAN console sessions (i.e., on multiple PC's) though only one can be active at a time. Boy, if I ever get that set up, I won't have to get out of my chair except for "necessities" and to go home.

Subject: Running out of twinax consoles...

We still have 12 iSeries systems, and one of them just blew their console. A
previous failure took our last complete console. Do any of you have a
prefered source for old, used, dependable hardware from which we could get
another console?

TIA,

Dave
