This reminds me of the situation about TSM client support for NetWare 5.0. 
Novell placed a very quick end-of-life to this version as well; those who ever 
used it know why. As a result, TSM client versions 4 & 5 have never supported 
NW 5.0. The same situation may be true here; weren't there a pile of troubles 
with the versions of TSA that came with 6.0?
