Foot out of mouth now? Seeing Jim's post, thinking about hobbling along on the 3215 console, he's right! "no dice" But others are thinking of different access. Not only does VNC come to mind, but SSH can tunnel X traffic. In fact, X forwarding is enabled by default in most SSH configs, including PuTTY. So run an X server (eg: Hummingbird, maybe CYGWIN) on your Windoze PC, SSH in, then YaST back to the PC.
