Hi Flemming, I am truly sorry that you are disappointed with my response on this subject. You might consider pursuing this issue with your IBM marketing or account representatives if it is a strong concern. But just to be clear: you *are* fully supported -- with the 5.2 client, even with a 5.3 server. While end-of-service for version 5.2 has not yet been announced, I expect 5.2 to remain in support through 2006, and probably well into 2007 (though I can not make formal commitments to that since I don't set end-of-service policy; this is my own current estimate). Just to put it in perspective, this means that we will be supporting NetWare 6.0 (with the 5.2 client) well beyond Novell's own end-of-life for NetWare 6.0.
