Sorry to forget basic things such as the platform ... but to me, it had no 
impact on the MLM
capabilities and configuration aspects (except its availability of course!)
- Digital Unix Tru64 4.0f
- Netview 5.1.3 + patches (Yes I'll migrated to 6.0.2 some day...)
- MLM would be installed on the Netview box
