We happen to be doing an exercise this week so I've been on the integrated 3270 console and it works great. I don't miss waiting for all the java code to download, so having the console open immediately is nice! When we first did the driver upgrade, I was surprised how good the 3270 console looked because the exception letter stated "The new design is still being improved, you might notice poor font selections and slower response times." I don't normally use the operating system messages screen, but I just got on and did a bunch of commands / displays and it looks good too. Also there are some nice enhancements in functionality as well (message selection / deletion, search, export). We have a shared console product in use so NIP messages go to a "real" console unless the integrated 3270 console is opened up prior to IPL, then they go there. I wanted to test NIP going to the operating system messages screen, but I can't because of the console software in use. Bottom line: No blipping for me in the operating systems messages screen nor the integrated 3270 console and both look good.
