Re: no more cume dvd via sndptford?

They could (mostly) care less what it takes for me to do the job.
Having said that, my real only beef is that SNDPTFORD used to
work one way... and now it works differently... and during the change
they didn't put the one value needed to specify "media". I know it was
probably intentional. They want to minimize media handling.
So download the images to your PC or wherever and burn the CDs/DVDs for them. Were you trying to get IBM to mail them to customer locations? Are you limited in what you can download at some site locally available to you?
I'd probably even consider downloading the images to some memory sticks/cards and load them to the customer's IFS once I got on site.
I know that the basic complaint is that SNDPTFORD doesn't seem to provide a guaranteed way to get the packages on CD/DVD. But what 'business' problem needs solving?
BTW, any chance of firing up an old modem and running SNDPTFORD through that? It'd probably default to physical media no matter how small the package was. (Does that even work any more?)
