We have had no hardwired consoles here for years. Consoles are supported by VCC (Global Maintech I think), a server application that allows one to get to reach any console via PuTTY. There's nowhere to hang a sticky. ;-)
I like the idea of giving NIPpers unique names. Something like NIPccss, where cc is the channel number of the OSAC card and ss is the system's SYSCLONE. That could be really useful. . . .
