If you would send just plain text, and not both plain text and ASCII, you'd probably get even more help. > 1) Mount a tape drive running in rhat linux or solaris to a bsd box You don't mount tape drives on Unix(*), so this question doesn't make sense. > 2) If true can you then use dump[8] to it? The dump syntax for accessing remote tape drives is "host:file". It should work to a real Unix box. I'm not sure about Linux. However, the rmt protocols used by dump aren't very efficient. You're better off using ssh or similar, and just piping the data around. Use dd on the remote end to deal with blocking: dump 0uf / | rsh taped-system dd of=/dev/magtape obs=1m > 3) If 2&3 are both true is this accomplished via nfs? Nope. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
