RE: Console issues upgrading from V4R5 to V5R1

I haven't used your software but have done a couple of systems with OEM Twinax 
emulators on PCs for consoles and haven't had a problem.

Subject: Console issues upgrading from V4R5 to V5R1


Greetings!

We have brand new 820 hardware ready to upgrade to from our 720.  It was
suggested by our BP that we go to V5R1 1st, then do the hardware upgrade.
We are currently connected to the AS/400 with our console using IBM
Personal communications (they write the code for CA Express 5250 stuff)
SNA over ASYNC from a PC.

My questions are; Will this config work on V5R1?  We are getting the cable
to connect the PC as an Ops console, but there will be a week or two
between the upgrade from V5R1 to the hardware upgrade.  Should I do both
on the same weekend?  At the same time?  What is the best way to procede?

Things are very UNCLEAR and some guidance by those who have been there
before would be very appriciated.

Thanks in advance.
