Change QAUTOVRT to
Number of devices to
autoconfigure . . . . . . : 0
Try to start System i Access 5250 session directly to that machine.
Basically it tells me that it's not allowed.
Try telnet from another lpar. CPF8940 - Cannot automatically select
virtual device.
Try telnet from DOS prompt. Tries, but comes back to prompt with no error

DSPMSG QSYSOPR has a few
CPF87D7-Cannot automatically select virtual device.
Working As Designed: However, on obsolete unsupported systems I remember
this always wasn't the case and I had to rename the command CRTDEVDSP to

Change QAUTOVRT to
