I am running NET over SL/IP and was wondering the same thing. Granted, backing up an entire hard-drive over 2400bd SL/IP is probably not the quickest method, but it is automated, and I wouldn't have to swap disks in and out for a couple of hours. Is the "/tar/" a keyword to get that will make everything into a tar file? Incidentally, I would run NOS if I could. I have not the urge to try and compile it for my machine (AT&T 3b1) So my limitations are that I must run NET. Can I still do what you said? - sparkie -- ___ ___ ___ ___ _ _ _ ___ / __\| . \/ . \| . \| |/ /|_|| _ | harier!sparkie@cs.wisc.edu \___\| __/| || _ /| < | || _[ \___/|_| |_|_||_|\\|_|\_\|_||___| mark.horn@mail.admin.wisc.edu
