Hi,

I have a question re. a DDS-II Streamer (ARCHIVE  Python 28388-XXX 4.CM) and 
Hardware-Compression:

With OS/2's GTAK I can use "compr on" to turn on my Drive's Hardware-Compression. With 
Linux I use "mt -f /dev/rmt0 datcompression on" to activate it.

However, the FreeBSD mt command does not offer direct access to the datcompression-flag. 
Instead it offers me three "X.nn" Modes to select from.

Unfortunately I absolutely don't know which mode corresponds to the "datcompr on" Flag. I 
also read the Manual and searched the FAQs and Mailing-List-Archives but didn't find a clue.

Could anybody please let me know *what* mt - mode I have to select in order to have my Drive 
use it's Hardware-Compression?!

MTIA,
_ralf_
