...which would not even work. One, can a Power 7 run twinax?

No. Excepting via certain 3rd party devices but NEVER as a console.

Two, on a low end machine do you really want to install a separate twinax card for each lpar?

No. Nor do you likely have the space even if you could.

Three, how do you configure multiple lpars from a 5250 twinax console?

After POWER4 you cannot.

You'd have been better off suggesting a screwdriver. It wouldn't have done the job either, but it is quite useful for other tasks.

Like dissembling the Twinax terminal for recycling. :-)
