Hi,

The "real" answer is to go to V5R2 (excellent release), and get "LAN
Console".

About a year ago, someone asked this question. Generally, the answer was
no. But I found a way to do it - use a switchbox. I got an ABCD DB9
switchbox. All the imputs are female, so you need also to get M-M gender
changers - get the mini variety. I'm able to configure any of 2 400s, our
DSL modem, and our phone system from 1 PC. Just make sure to close the
console down before switching to a different system.

If you are also doing the remote control panel, I assume you could use a
similar switch for parallel port connections (DB25).

Maybe there are combination switches that have both serial (DB9) and
parallel (DB25) on the same switch.
