Re: Remote IPL form telnet

   I suggest that instead you use GO POWER to tell the system to power down
   pretty soon, then power back on 1/2 hour later.  That way the power down &
   up is controlled by the system, not relying on your ability to connect
   after the power down pulls your plug.

   There is also the question of whether you want a security officer
   authority to be able to do this, from outside your physical site. 

   Did you see in the news that the Russians had cracked VPN & wireless
   encryption?

     Will I run into any problems if I power down and re-ipl my system from a
     remote location using telnet on a VPN connection?
