I have recently aquired the following machine:
IBM,9113-550
Up until yesterday we could connect a dumb terminal to serial port 1 and get console login. However the dumb terminal died. We are now using a laptop with a null modem cable attached to serial port 1. This works perfectly for all of our other pseries servers except this one. As far as I can tell everything is setup the same as the other servers.
