  Hi Tim and others,

I have been thinking of test this against a Linux server, instead of
Windows 2k. Just to be sure that the NetWorker server gives a crap of
the NSR_SUPPORT_NETWARE_4X=1 variable. Now that I have heard that you
got it to work, I'm surely gonna give it a try.

What TSA are you running? I don't like TSAFS at all, but I couldn't find
TSA600 in sp2 for NetWare 6.5. The latest TSA5UP I could find, was
TSA5UP10, this one is pretty old, and I have seen discussions about
TSA5UP13. But I haven't found it on Novell's website(!?).

Thanks for the help and ideas so far... anybody more? any more ideas?
/JC
