Re: Ordering PTF's via the Internet

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

I doesn't load it to your PC, I don't think.  It just uses socks to 
route from the Internet, through your PC, to the 400.  Go to web site 
http://as400service.rochester.ibm.com/
and select Internet PTF's

Welcome to the world of Client Server.  :^)  Cooperative processing, if
that's what it is, is a wonderful thing.  OTOH, if this means that your
PTF is transferred to your PC (I don't know), then you have to upload it
to the /400 in a separate step, then I'll retract what I said.  That's
neither client-server nor cooperative.
