	I am trying to dump the filesystem on the NeXT to an 8mm
tape drive on a remote host. So far, I've had no luck. It seems that
/etc/dump does not recognize remote devices of the form host:/devname.
	I then tried to pipe dump to a 'dd' process on the remote host,
but this time, I get a message back saying: dd: write: I/O error. I have
been able to tar to this drive using 'dd', but not dump. Can anybody
shed some light on this? (I have tried various blocking factors, but the
result is the same).
