It's a whole new day:

"CM/ECF is a new case management system being implemented in the Federal Judiciary for all bankruptcy, district and appellate courts. CM/ECF allows courts to accept filings and provide access to filed documents over the Internet."

CM/ECF has been underway since 2001, starting with the bankruptcy courts. District courts began in 2002 and appelate courts began implementing the system in the tail-end of 2004.
