Yes.  I was only meaning to say that the SOL seems to be broken.

Likewise.

I couldn't find any info.  I suppose I could raise a service call, but
I don't know if that's likely to get me anywhere.  The console does work
via the ssh CLI, anyhow.

Ah.  solpayloadsize,sun20 did establish a connexion, but I think the
speed may be wrong as it appears dead once connected.  On the other
hand, after disconnecting, that seems to have taken the ILOM off the
air...  That is with the earliest ILOM, anyway, though it's annoying it
looks more broken in the latest.
