1 and sorta-3. We have ESCON-attached DIDOCS consoles (via Visara controller),
but our computer room is "dark" and we do nearly all of our IPLs remotely.
Therefore, we don't define any NIP consoles to z/OS.
BTW, we would *really* like it if the 3270 console on the remote HMC worked for
z/OS like it does for z/VM. :-)
