The Integrated 3270 Console definitely works remotely. I'm using it now from my dining room table. A few points:
-- The option is listed on HMC under Recovery (not under Daily). No idea why. -- You have to define a name for it in CONSOLxx with DEVNUM(HMCS) just as you do for SYSCONS. Be sure to include &SYSCLONE somewhere in the NAME(). -- The Integrated 3270 can be used as a NIP console. -- Only one user at a time can open the 3270 console in each LPAR. This might be an issue for larger shops with multiple operations staff. However, a second user may 'steal' the console; especially important if the first user has lost connectivity or cannot otherwise release it. -- You do not log on or off the 3270 console. You just run it. Similar to Operating System Messages. When you're finished, you close the window. We installed the non-Java HMC microcode level installed shortly after I learned about it at SHARE in San Antonio. That was before we had z/OS 2.1 rolled out, so I have no experience using 3270 console with Java. I cannot prove this with doc, but AFAIK the Integrated 3270 never actually worked on MVS before 2.1. IIRC it did work on z/VM for years before that. . .

It was always available, that means in OS/2 based HMC (1.8), and later (2.xx) in Java and non-Java flavours. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
