I recently posted this as a question without enough detail on the
at&t group, and the answer seems not to be working, so forgive me
while I try it here.

I currently have at AT&T 3B2/400 which I am replacing with an
NCR Tower 32/700 shortly.  There is about 20MB of data I need to
move from the 3b2 to the ncr.  On the 3b2 is unix v.2.1.1, and
I understand I will be getting unix v.3.2.2 on the ncr.  The 3b2
has a tape drive no which I do backups using the program ctccpio
(obviously a variant of cpio).  I do have tar available as well,
though have never tried it.  The tape drive on the 3b2 claims to
be a 23mb, 45451 512byte block unit, using DC600A tapes.  I can't
seem to find any other reference to this tape format.  The ncr
has a more conventional 150mb tape drive.  Is there any way to
move data from the 3b2 to the ncr via these tape drives????
(Help!)

I have this terrible feeling that I am going to have to asynch
download.......  tell me it ain't so.
