Yes. But we have had problems where an operator disconnected from the OSA-ICC and console buffers back up til we get 100% full. Have a problem open with IBM and they are investigating. Attaching to the 2074's doesn't present this problem if the operator accidently disconnects.

It depends. What CPCs do you have ? How much ? Last but not least: do you feel any technical need, I mean capacity, connectivity, performance, tc. All new machines (z/890, z/990, z9, z9 BC, z9 EC) are OSA-ICC capable. That means you don't need any 2074. The cost is one port of OSA card (all current cards except 10Gb are two-port). If you have older machines, then you should consider when will you upgrade. If you have older machines and no plans for upgrade them, then think about keeping 2074. Then consider if 2074 upgrade is really needed.
