We are getting quotes for systems with either a 5552 (sys console - thin console) or 5553 (sys console - Ethernet) cards.

Our old boxes had twinax consoles and we use a Visara (diskless linux device) that serves the console session over the network. The Visara client software (and emulation protocol) are proprietary but it's acceptable for what it is.

What are the remote (TCP/IP) console options for a 515 or 525 ?
An HMC would probably work, but it's likely the most expensive option.
Our IBM partner is suggesting another twinax card. Are these really the only choices ?
