Well, if you still have Windows NT 4.0 machines, there ISN"T a client later than 5.1.8! It's not like you have a choice.
We have a few Windows NT 4.0 machines still running 5.1.7, and in fact some Win2K clients still running 4.2. No problems. You just don't get any of the new 5.3 features. I haven't heard of anyone having problems with connecting older clients, even some VERY old Solaris V3 clients. You are just getting the standard disclaimer from IBM. On the other hand, if you are running Win2003, TSM doesn't support the backup of the system state correctly until at least 5.2.3, and you BETTER get a 5.3 client installed.

I read the IBM website and I know 5.1.5 clients are not supported but they may work. When I called IBM they said that these clients may work but once you run into problems the only help they can give is to advise us to upgrade the client version. Rich
