I am in urgent need of a way to write tar output to a remote tape
drive, an exabyte, over ethernet very quickly - preferably allowing the
exabyte to stream.  I currently use the gnu-tar, which does a pretty
good job but I really something faster.

If necessary I will write my own one - so any suggestions about how
best to do this are welcome.
