We don't have it.  Their sales people have been calling various ADSM
customers trying to drum up interest, and as I found those sales people
are just that - say you are running AIX and they don't know what AIX is.
That gets into the biggest drawback of the package:  ADSM is primarily
a large-systems product, with AIX and Solaris being its primary platforms.
And yet SAMS runs only on a PC, eliminating it as a serious possibility
in many environments.  It won't be taken seriously as a product until
it runs on the platforms where ADSM is actually used.
