I understand better now. z/VM does not virtualize the character mode VT220 console, so a "virtual console server" along those lines isn't possible. But that doesn't mean you can't fix a Linux configuration. Just use another guest that DOES have its network connections up. Take the problem Linux offline (FORCE, shutdown). Then have the Good Linux LINK to the target Linux's disk and mount it. Then you can edit (with all needed tools) the Linux configuration. When done, unmount, DETACH the disk, and start up the Problem Linux again.
