Robert, I have and downloaded and installed several ServerPacs electronically. My opinion is that this process is terrific. Not having to deal with a whole bunch of cartridges as in the past is great. The main thing to worry about is ensuring that the filesystem into which the order is received is large enough (I had 2 3390-9's set aside for a z/OS 1.7 order) to hold all the data. Just follow the directions supplied with the ShopzSeries order to download and receive the order.
