I would like the request that client as well. I don't know why TIVOLI/IBM
hasn't developed that yet?. How about the RT is there a client for AIX 2.1.
I really don't think so. We still use an IBM RT running AIX 2.1 at a Unix
kernel design course at a local college and it would be nice to back it up.
Just kidding I know they don't have a client for it but it would be nice to
be backwards compatible.

Sorry to jump in, but ...
Would you also email the material to [EMAIL PROTECTED], or make
them
available for download somewhere? Our site is converting to TSM, and has
several FreeBSD systems that need to be backed up.
Thanks.
