Twinax?

["Gary Kuznitz" <docfxit@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Are they serious?

Does a new 520 still need twinax for a console connection?  Do you 
mean they haven't figured out how to make TCP/IP reliable enough yet?  
Is this candid camera?  Is someone pulling my leg?  I thought twinax was 
outdated 10 years ago.  Can't IBM figure out how to make a reliable 
console without twinax?

I thought I had an old twinax card in my stash of relics but I can't find one.  
Is there any twinax emulation that would go out an ethernet port to a 
balun?  Do I really have to buy a twinax card for windows?  Do they still 
make them?  Does anyone know where to buy one?  Which one to buy?  
I'm not buying a dumb terminal.  This is ridiculous.  Surly someone can 
explain to IBM how make tcp/ip reliable enough for a console.  

I just can't stop laughing.  They can make a reliable computer but they 
can't make communications reliable enough for a console?

Maybe this is all a joke and I really don't have to use twinax for a console.  
That must be.  Please tell me it is.

Thank you,
