Hello,
Excuse my butting-in, but TSM is quite important for us, too.

Could you take time or point me to something that would
explain how to use the SCO client, please?
We'd be another bunch to add to the ibcs/svr group if it
actually works here, too. ;)

I've had no luck, likewise, with the Linux TSM client.
I had never considered another compatible client until
seeing your msg just now.
FWIW, our support contract with IBM does cover TSM clients,
but IBM won't consider a FreeBSD-native client despite
their supporting their MacOSX client very well & officially.
IBM says they need more "user base" to even consider a BSD
flavor... go figure...
I'm tracking -Current via CTM etc.
