I have implemented 6.1.3 on these two and it seems to have no troubles
so far. Thanks for the comments!

Usually the easiest and surest way to resolve a question such as this is

to check the software compatibility guide on Powerlink. However Solaris 
6 is no longer supported by any current version of NetWorker, so unless 
anyone has archived some older versions of the SCG we won't be able to 
find the answer.

I can say with certainty from memory that NetWorker 6.1.4 will support 
Solaris 6 for both client and server, and also that 6.1.4 is the latest 
version that will support a Solaris 6 NetWorker server. However I 
suspect that there may be some later NetWorker versions that will 
support a Solaris 6 machine as a client only. I cannot say this for
sure.
