Some whiles ago I saw mention made of accessing a tape archive
across an ethernet TCP/IP,  the command sample listed was pretty
complex and I would be very interested in how one would do this.

Scenario:
Box1 has a QIC tape, but does not have enough disk to unload the tape
Box2 has no tape, but acres of disk and would be a fine place to unload

My official set of TFMs handles the use of remote commands very generally
and my efforts to make it go have been fruitless.

Thanks
