Actually, we had tried to do what the originator of this thread wanted to do,
but were told by AT&T that basicly the 3b2 uses a formated tape, whereas the
tower uses unformated tapes (i.e. it just writes to the tape).  Therefore, it
looks like asynchronous transfers are the only way to transfer data (unless
you want to try to move a hard disk :-) or better yet, use floppy disk :-) ).
