We have PC users who would like to be able to back up their PCs via
a tape drive on an Decstation running Ultrix.

The PCs are running PCSA to the VMS machines and we have DECNET on the
DecStation. Is this possible? How about if we use pc-nfs?

They can, of course, copy files to a PCSA or pc-nfs mounted partition
but that is not really the same thing.

What about some (unnamed) product which will run on the PC and talk
TCP/IP to an rmtd running on the DecStation? This last one sounds most
sanitary to me.
