Well, there are a couple ways.  Apollos can read 'tar' tapes, and ANSI
tapes.  The command for ANSI tapes is from Aegis: /com/rwmt.  I've
used both methods on tapes from other types of machines.  I like
tar-tapes better, since it is easier to send whole directories at once.

I hope this is helpful.
