Chance for FreeBSD ADSM/TSM client from Tivoli/IBM

[Daniel Lang]

Hi,

in the past there have been discussions and demand
for a *BSD client for TSM. To my best knowledge there is no 
such client. In practice Linux and SCO clients have
been abused partially using dirty tricks (like NFS loop
mounts) to get it running.

Now, our computing centre is negotiating a new contract,
which makes it possible to get a FreeBSD (or *BSD) TSM
client developed. _BUT_ this will only be successful, if
we can show that there is sufficient demand overall.

So everybody, who would have interest in a TSM BSD client,
_please_ send me a short email about your demand, like

[..]
We are Organisation/Company $ABC, and we would benefit from
BSD clients. Our demand would be around $xyz clients.
[..]

This would be _very_ helpful.

Please also forward this request to any other potential BSD
and TSM users (possibly appropriate Net/Open BSD lists?)

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
 Daniel Lang
