We would also very much like to have this feature on the OS/2 platform
and we are not planning to switch to NT servers.

BTW, as I am writing, this list and the support from the IBM ADSM-team
is the best way to get support I have experienced. Thank you very much
for this to especially the ADSM-team and the other very enganged
people willing to share and help.

Kind regards

Don,
        There is an HSM product for NT that interfaces with ADSM... it
used to
be from a company called Avail but I think Wang Software owns it now.
For the DEC Alpha, you can supposedly use the FX!32 software from
Digital to convert the Intel based version of ADSM to run on the DEC
Alpha running NT.
