Check the README files, to confirm your planned migration matches your
expectations... in general, old clients are supported (ie, continue to work
just fine!), within the following constraints:
old client on new server, only old features can be used;
new client on old server, usually okay provided new server features are
not exploited;
new client to new server -- often, cannot go back to old client level...
see README for migration strategy in case you need to allow for this (highly
recommended for "early adopters").
So, your Win9x clients can continue to run "forever"; just need to know
that (eventually) they need to upgrade the OS (and TSM client) for continued
vendor support via standard service contracts.
