RE: Fix Central

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is an easy way to do this - always has been. On this page, the 
fixes support page,

http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/support/iseries/fixes/orderfix.html

there is a link for ordering on media

http://www-912.ibm.com/supporthome.nsf/document/23801211

which is, IIRC, the Boulder, CO, fulfillment center. You need to be 
in the US and have a support contract. You can select lists of 
individual fixes or CUMES. You get to say the shipping priority, etc. 
All on one page - lovely.

8-10 years ago (before CDs) I used this facility to send fixes to a 
dozen different company sites - IBM did it all - no copy tapes to 
different formats and then mail 'm out.
