Ah, right; duly corrected, thanks!

I eventually managed to stay connected with the FTP server long enough
to fetch the 5.3 and 5.4 clients and found out they do appear to work
with the older TSM server (5.1.9.6).

Needs are very basic; nothing fancy so I'm not too concerned for
deploying this on a small subset of our kits on an as-needed basis.

Buys me some more time while I continue to see if we can either get an
upgraded TSM server or if we can continue to run TSM instead of the
preferred organisational standard of EMC [Legato] Networker.

Heard much about the Acorn BBC kits over the years. :)
