Re: IBM site access -- MIDRANGE-NONTECH

Steve, no, it's not enough, you need a monthly contract like SupportLine, which basically is now bundled with Software Subscription as Software Maintenance.

Even then you need to go to your "unified" IBM user ID and go through some machine updates. And you may need to do some kind of recognition thing the first time at the Regiestered KB. Once that's done, however, it's pretty smooth.

BTW, you have this if you can enter PMRs that are just questions - not defect only.

Thanks, Tom...
How do you gain access to this site in the first place?  Does a Software
Subscription agreement qualify?
