What is the old AIX & RS/6000 console font?

What is the old AIX & RS/6000 console font? I'm sick of Lucida Console font on my putty sessions. I used to love whatever font was employed on IBM rs/6000 consoles. Does anyone know the name of that font and if it is available (and usable) from anywhere?

"To be honest I don't ever remember knowing if there was a name for the console font for the old pSeries. The ps/2 beige box you're thinking of is likely the 7012-36T or similar model. I remember having a black 43p a while back.

I know if you do a Google image search for smitty aix console you'll find images of the font, but I can't think of any current font that matches it.

Jeff Atwood had a blog article of programming fonts, including his link to an article about clear type.

He presents a link to Inconsolata.
