ok, that assumes that veritas is less able to support their product than IBM
is. Since Veritas is a _big_ player in the back-up market, I'm not ready to
do so just yet. Remember, this is a product in use by at least as may
organisations as TSM is, and it wouldn't be if people can't rely on the
quality of the product.

Any argument as in 'if the software is upgraded, we need to upgrade the
client', only means exactly that. With win2003 this was true, so why not
with a mail database? I don't see the problem. _My_ problem is that my users
are asking for a functionality that I'm currently unable to provide, unless
I do unconventional things. Since SARA is more or less in the buisiness of
doing unconventional things (like running TSM!) this should be no shock....
