Okkay, so this has me wondering.

I'm going to upgrade my 170 from 4.3 to 5.1. I've been looking around the
Information Center, and can't find where they document if I can upgrade
directly, and how to do so, or what I need to do if not. (Damn, but that's
one poorly-organized site.) Where's the information?

Also, assuming I need to order the latest cum PTF CD, how do I go about
doing that? Am I even eligible to do so with my software subscription? I
don't have the modem for my system, so I need some other way of generating
the order then SNDPTFORD (unless it can be convinced to send the order over
the Internet).

If I can't upgrade directly from 4.3 to 5.1, how do I get there? I've got
4.4 install media (but no key; can I get that with my subscription?), but no
4.5 install media (and can't order that any more from IBM).

What else am I missing?
