Re: Connecting to V5R4 System

[B Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ooo.. I tried port 2300 and got a console screen but Take over the console
. . . . . . . . :   NO  is shown.

The bottom is an error that says:

"This console type 0 does not match the current system console type."

And I can't seem to be able to do anything from that screen, not even with
a system request.
