I believe it, because ADSM/2 is kept secret. The MVS users usually have 
contacts with IBM representatives and they are probaly asked "would you not 
like to try ADSM?",
But most OS/2 networks grow without IBM´s assistency. Adding the (lack of) 
ADSM/2 advertisment, no wonder that "no many people are using OS/2 to run ADSM 
server".

Why it concerns me? As ADSM/2 has (virtually) no advertising, only few people 
no about it, thus ADSM/2  will probably not become a successfull product in 
terms of numbers licences sold, and one day will its further developing be 
eventually stopped. And I will have to move to another plattform.

~ I am curious of where does IBM advertises ADSM. In six months I have
~ only seen one add.
~
~ How do people hear about ADSM?
~ I read about ADSM when it was awared best backup product of the year
~ by a magazine and IBM didn't even take the opportunity to advertise
~ on that magazine in coming weeks/months.
~
~ Another burning question:
~ What is ADSM target market?
~ When I started using aDSM I thought it was ANY company which had a
~ considerable amount of clients or that needed the flexibility of
~ backup that ADSM has. After not seen ads in PC related publications
~ (and a few Unix magazines) I started wondering. What really got me
~ thinking was when someone at IBM told me "not many people are using
~ OS/2 to run the ADSM server"; by the context of the conversation it
~ seemed as if the "not many" meant sort of a handfull.
