Jim,

You could use Fix Central
http://www-912.ibm.com/eserver/support/fixes/fixcentral/main/iseries/

to create CD images to download. Select the options that say include all
PTFs for application on multiple machines and to download via FTP. After
the images are created, download them all to one system and then you can
copy them from that system to your others via whatevr method you choose.

Then you load them into an image catalog and use GO PTF option 8 to
install.

I doubt you could have a direct connection between various customers'
machines due to network security, but I don't see why you couldn't FTP
the CD images onto your PC and then FTP them from your PC to whatever
customer machine you were working on.

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.
