Thank you all. I have always been curing sick guests by LINKing their
minidisks to other guests and mounting the partitions.
Occasionally I need to do something in the console.
I tried telnet via putty. Ok, 3270 is better. I am now resigned to it.

But there are other solutions to your problem... when would go to
single user mode the applications are down anyway, so you might as
well shutdown the entire server. At that point you can have another
fully working Linux server with network etc reach out to the disks of
the dead penguin and do whatever it takes to solve the problems. You
can download new packages, edit files, etc.
This is after all a "virtual raised floor" and with z/VM you can
sort-of hot-swap your disks without being on site. Obviously it does
require proper authorisations arranged in z/VM to do so; you don't
want just any Linux server to be able to do it. In a former life we
wrote a pair of bash scripts that would issue the "hcp" and "mount"
command under the covers to get hold of the disk. Very easy.
