My use of this technique is with a PClone from Trillian, and an Everex
tape unit under 386/ix from Interactive Systems.  I use 'cpio -[oi]cB' or
'tar' under the two unixes to transfer software like the 'GNU'
distributions to my 386 at home (not that I've had an unfrustrating time
getting some of it running, but that's another message).
