I don't have Management Central to any of these machines (firewall
does not allow), plus I have never figured out how to have Manage
Central over multiple unrelated customers machines from my one
desktop. I can't have these machines trying to talk to each other,
or every time I log onto my pc trying to touch all these machines.

Since you have the high-speed download, maybe do the FTP download.
Put the images on one machine into image catalog. Now, do I remember
right? that you can use Management Central in iSeries Navigator to do
PTFs on several machines? I'm not at a PC with Navigator on it, so
can't verify. Otherwise, copy the images around your systems in some
efficient manner and repeat above.

Sorry I wasn't more specific - I did select the option to check all the ptfs
to send,
and did see it doing that. Have a high speed connect, but it seems like if
the
download exceeds a certain "time" it marks it as "mail" and disconnects. The
only
reason I say this is in my case, it did the select, started the download of
ptfs needed,
put a large # of ptfs ti the qibm directory, but at some point disconnected
& marked
the request as "mailed".
I have several more machines to do and wanting to determine if the download
option has such a limit, and with the v5r4 cume getting so large, if
updating a machine
at an old cume level, may have to change plans (i love the direct download,
so
easy to start remotely).
