 This is not good news.  I use the Motif GUI on a dial up line and I dread the 
possibility of using Java GUI on a dial up line(now I have to spend more time 
at office doing my netbackup stuff). Is there a specific reason for doing away 
with Motif GUI ?

But still Java Sucks....

Hope Veritas is listining..
