    Add server-start prerequisite to Connecting via Console section
    
    The Connecting via Console section shows traversals against the modern
    toy graph but never explains that a compatible Gremlin Server must be
    running first. Add a prerequisite pointing readers to start the server
    with conf/gremlin-server-modern.yaml, cross-link the Starting Gremlin
    Server section, and note that other configurations serve a different or
    empty graph so the examples would not return the results shown.

 === Connecting via Console
 
-With Gremlin Server running it is now possible to issue some scripts to it for 
processing.  Start Gremlin Console as
-follows:
+Gremlin Console can be used to send remote traversals to a running Gremlin 
Server, so a compatible server must be
+started first. The examples in this section query the "modern" toy graph (i.e. 
vertices such as "marko", "vadas" and
+"lop"), which is served by the `conf/gremlin-server-modern.yaml` configuration 
that is packaged with the Gremlin Server
+distribution. Start Gremlin Server with that configuration as described in 
<<starting-gremlin-server,Starting Gremlin
+Server>>:
+
+[source,text]
+bin/gremlin-server.sh conf/gremlin-server-modern.yaml
+
+NOTE: Starting Gremlin Server with a different configuration (such as the 
default) serves a different or empty graph, in
+which case the traversals shown below will not return the results demonstrated 
here.

+With the server running, start Gremlin Console as follows:
