> ** ADSM is now accelerated on Power Macintosh! **
>
> The ADSM Macintosh client (for both PPC and 68K) is now available
> on index.storsys.ibm.com. Download the file mac.v2r1m3.IP20648.hqx
> from the /adsm/fixes/v2r1/mac directory.

> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> An incompatability has been found when running any version of the ADSM Mac
> client with Open Transport 1.1, as provided by Apple in System 7.5.3.
>
> Problem
> -------
> An initial connection can be made to the ADSM server, and backup or restores
> can be performed. However, if the user cancels the backup/restore, or if the
> connection to the server must be re-established, then the client cannot
> reconnect to the server. A TCP/IP error will occur.
>
> This also effects the ADSM Scheduler, as it starts/stops several connections
> to the server.
>
> Solution
> --------
> We are working with Apple to find a solution to this problem. Currently
> it seems to be a problem with Open Transport itself. In the meantime,
> you should run classic MacTCP on Macs running System 7.5.3. Use the
> Network Software Selector, installed in the Apple Extras folder on your
> system drive, to select between Open Transport and MacTCP networking.
>
> The problem does not effect other parts of the system. To clear up the
> problem, simply close the application and restart it. You do not need to
> restart the system.
>
> For PCI Macs, that can only run Open Transport: you can still run the
> ADSM Backup program in a limited fashion. Canceling an operation,
> or changing your password, will cause the connection to fail. Simply
> colse the application and restart it to clear up the problem.
> You will not be able to run the ADSM Scheduler. Until this problem
> can be resolved, you will need to issue the backup by hand.
