some of the older HMC's w/ Os2 came with 3270 cards the newer ones can and do infact communicate directly w/ the op systems, and can communicate w/ more than 1 LPAR etc if you were to loose ip , 3270 etc connectivity to the consoles the system will fall back to the HMC

No, no, and no. Read carefully: OS/2 version is meant. You do have access to OS, you have access to command prompts, you can use facilities other than HMC application - to mention PCOMM, ftp, Netscape, etc. However - in fact I don't understand why should I rely on HMC as the PC station during DR. Is it so hard to have another PC? Last but not least: Contemporary versions of HMC are Linux based and indeed user has no access to OS. So - why to create some scenario which would become unusable after upgrade? -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland -- BRE Bank SA ul. Senatorska 18 00-950 Warszawa www.brebank.pl Sd Rejonowy dla m. st.
