Yes and it works great as long as the user does not do a reboot or the systems fails to boot or load the IUCV driver

The Terminal Server is part of the s390-tools package and permits normal access to other zLinux guests running on the same z/VM system, even if they are not connected to a working TCP/IP network. This permits the use of common Linux tools like vi, Emacs, and nano, to be used even in the event of a network failure.
