Hi Ken,
Optivity NMS 9.0 will be the first version to support NV 5.1. NMS 8.1.1
will support the same platforms that the NMS 8.1 platform did.
AIX 4.2.1 is officially supported. Bay Networks will, whenever fiscally
possible, support maintenance releases of any platforms or Operating
systems for use with Optivity applications. A maintenance release is
defined as a change in the third decimal point of a version number.
