Running dump(8) on a MicroVAX, Ultrix 1.2A -- and I'm getting REAL tired
of waiting for the tape.  The tape unit is a streamer, and the software
is not fast enough to keep it in streaming mode, so I wait and wait and
wait....

Is there any software anything like dump/restore that keeps up with a
streamer, or some way to speed up (double-buffer) dump/restore enough to
do so?
