    The TSAM SSB has just been released.  What is the reason for DS90L+
    for not being supported in the AM, when older modules, like
    90L and new one like like 90TL are supported.
    
    Is this a limitation on the AM or on the firmware on 90L+?

The DS90L+ came out after work had been done to add the DS90L, DS90TL, and
DS700.  We had a tight schedule, and did not have time to go back and
add the new server model.  I don't remember the sequence of events, but
it may have also had something to do with TSM not supporting the DS90L+
during this portion of developement.  (Even though it does now, TSAM is layered
on TSM, and it is much more work for us to add server types than TSM.)

By the way, as far as TSAM is concerned, the DS90TL, DS300 and DS700 are
treated almost identically, and did not require much work for their differences.
The DS90L and DS90l+ are very different from most of the other terminal
servers, and require loads of special case code.

If and when there is another version of TSAM, this server model will
undoubtedly be added.
