RE: Anybody use Fix Central today?

I know this is gonna sound like heresy in this day and age where everything
is supposed to be GUI'ied, but 99.9% of the time I order PTFs I use
SNDPTFORD.

It takes a _lot_ less of my time to do the ordering, and most PTFs
(including the HIPER group) are downloaded immediately.  The only things I
have found not downloaded immediately with the SNDPTFORD command are the CUM
and Client Access Service packs.

When you have IBM set it up right, SNDPTFORD does _not_ use a modem, except
as a fallback.

Just my opinion.
