To read or write a VMS tape under UNIX, use the ansitar utility that
has been posted to net.sources a couple of times. To write a tape for
VMS, use the D option, which gives you block size=2048 and variable
length records (the D option for writing was added in the latest version,
posted by Pierre MacKay at the Univ of Wash).
