Hello, 

Could someone please tell me how can I get 3005 patch without going thru
local IBM reps?  Here normally my boss's boss takes care of getting patches,
but nowadays we are undergoing reorganization so obviously OS patching has
a *really* low priority.  Yet to me, it's urgent, since with current 3003,
things are so unstable and frequently after hours debugging sessions, I found
it's not things that I was porting at fault.  Really frustrating indeed.

Is it possible to get 3005 patch directly from someone at IBM?  I would  
appreciate it very much if someone could provide me some leads, eg phone #,
person to contact, email addresses etc.  I don't even know who is our SE (and
what SE stands for anyway? sales engineer?  You got to be kidding :-)
                                 ^^^^^^^^
I am just a lowly student SA, so many things are beyond my control.  But at 
least I can patch my own development machine I guess.

Thanks in advance for any info.
