Before people start jumping down my throat, let me explain more on this: > What would really be nice is to have nisend be able to interactively > read stdin and write across the net so you could do something like this: > > find . -print | cpio -ocm | nisend -d vax -f "vaxtape" > > If you could do this, no disk space problems would present themselves. Obviously, this does not work too well now, as you would need an awful lot of disk space on the 3b2, twice as much as the amount you are backing up. By interactive, I meant that the nisend would read its stdin and transmit it as it is reading it. If it could do this, it would not have to buffer it in a file somewhere. The "host" command available on vaxen using the DEC HSC disk controller allows this. -- Jim Webb "Out of phase--get help" ...!ihnp4!hropus!jrw "Use the Force, Read the Source"
