To all:

Thanks for all of your replies on the subject.  Obviously I missed
an important section in the New Features manual (excuse: Bookreader
is our site's only means for VMS documentation...that's right, no
paper copies.  Sigh, I miss browsing...)

Well, anyway, I can offer a little tid-de-bit.  We demo'ed RTF
(Remote Tape Facility), from Touch Technologies I believe.  It
allows you to share tape devices over the Ethernet, and it seemed
to work quuite well.  Performance wasn't bad at all (but we didn't
traverse a bridge on the Ethernet...they promote "worldwide access").
We didn't buy it because we'll wait for VAXcluster sharing instead.
Guess we'll have to wait a bit longer  :)

Thanks again!

EO
