     Hi,,,I read under "Frequently asked ADSM questions" on the ADSM
     homepage that the HSM functions are currently supported under AIX
     3.2.5 and 4.1, Solaris 2.5.  Also it states that WANG is working on a
     product to be used in an NT environment.  It also states that the OS/2
     platform is a requirement but the is no "current plan" to provide this
     support.  My questions for IBM and other storage management gurus:

     1.) Will IBM come out with the HSM peice for OS/2, NT and DEC Alpha?
         If so can someone give me a "wishful thinking time frame"?

     2.) If IBM is not going to support the environments above (HSM
         speaking).  Are there other products available that do?

     We like ADSM alot, but from reading the questions I don't get a warm
     fuzzy feeling that IBM will be actively persuing these areas.  If not
     we need to find an alternative. (If there is one)  Were most concerned
     with the OS/2 environment.   Thanks ahead of time for any replys!!!!
