Hmmm, down-revving is not an option for my NT/W2K people.  The
software running on this box (MS RIS??) requires 5.50.

The other thread mentioned a 5.50.01?  I'm also told there is a newer
6.00 version on Compaq's site..but, my NT person needs to verify if
other software will be ok with it.

I'm going to call Legato now and ask if they have any insight into this;
is it a driver problem?  If so, is it a Compaq issue or MS issue?


Oh,  I was told the 5.50.01 has the same 3.63.363 gigabit driver; we tried
it and the backup still failed... grrr.
