Well, good for you. I wish I were so lucky. I get as far as establishing
connectivity to the site but it just hangs there and the connection then
times out before it prompts for user name and password. I am working on
upgrading to 5.1.5.x and the OS390 system programmer just gave up and
ordered the PTF's on TAPE to go from 5.1 to 5.1.5.x since he could not get
them from any of the web sites or the ftp site! What's next, are we going
back to punched cards next month? (Sorry, this is just my frustration
speaking!)
