OTM has been disabled from the beginning; our boxes abended from the
start with OTM on.  I was referring to multiple backup jobs coming from
the same client; so netware1 doing an Offsite full and then a daily
incremental starts up and the server abends.

The master server is 4.5; is there a compelling reason to upgrade the
netware clients immediately?  Major bug fixes, et al?

Thanks.
