RE: V5R1M0 and you...

What I suspected IBM was trying to do was claim they were doing this over
the internet but use the same slow modem and configure it to use PPP versus
SNA.  Granted, the TCP/IP will run faster than SNA using the same hardware,
but the real payback would be to use our high speed internet connections.

I was under the impression that the ECS could do this ON the AS/400 - my
system is ON the internet, but I still need my 12000 baud modem to dial
into IBM to order PTF's

Since I have a 1.5mbit Download capability - wouldn't it be great to
have ECS wake up & order these in seconds instead of using that damn 800
# (costs IBM Money!) and one of the many existing T1's to get 12K/2mbyte
Downloads of recent PTF's - since the system orders this?  My system
would LOVE being THAT up to date!!
