A retired IBM architect pointed out to me that DMI is alive and well on the
NetView for NT side of the house as WEBM support. Thanks, Bill.

Subject: Re: [NV-L] DMI support with NetView 6K
Hey, James. DMI as it is used today is probably the Desktop Management
Interface
done by the Desktop Management Task Force and being pushed by Microsoft and Sun
as
Web Based Enterprise Management (WBEM). Its big in the NV for NT side.
[personal note removed - js ]
An older one with TMN exists as well so lets be prepared for confusion.
