O Great Net.Wizards:

We have a couple of DEC VAXen which are equipped with a very nice high
capacity tape backup drive. We will also (soon) have LAN for our DOS
machines running under Netware '386. We're also connected to our campus 
TCP/IP backbone. We'll eventually have the VAXen on the TCP/IP net as
well. Since everything will be connected together into one big happy
network (ha ha), it sure would be nice to be able to use the tape drive
hanging off the VAXen to back up our PC file servers also. The obvious
questions: Can it be done? If it can, what will we need, and how do we do
it? 

Any personal experiences or pointers to information would be greatly 
appreciated.
