I heard about those and I'm not even sure that's what I want.

According to the IBM support person I had on the phone, the only _certain_
way to make sure the console is seen during an upgrade is to use twinax.
When I mentioned the thin client type, he said even that could still be a
potential problem, because it relied on communications of some type.

According to him, twinax is "hardwired at port 0 address 0" and is the only
surefire console method.  Every other way requires communications.

I am not making this up, those were his exact words.  I don't know what I
think yet, except ops console failed and twinax worked.
