thats a good idea, use a hard drive like a tape drive, totally forgot about that one.

yes, sco openserver host does not support networking other than serial communications. Its offered as a "cheap" alternative for POS applications, and the like with small user bases. Thats the difference between host and enterprise, enterprise supports networking & serial apps.

I was thinking of using floppies like that (as tape medium, just a raw write), but with as muich info as i need to backup (about 200 mb actually), that would be a bad plan. the hard drive though should work ok, might have to write zeros to it before though......only need to backup the company's data from their proprietary, generic program.

tcopy(1)							   User Commands							  tcopy(1)

NAME

       tcopy - copy a magnetic tape

SYNOPSIS

       tcopy source [destination]

DESCRIPTION

       The  tcopy  utility copies the magnetic tape mounted on the tape drive specified by the source argument. The only assumption made about the
       contents of a tape is that there are two tape marks at the end.

       When only a source drive is specified, tcopy scans the tape, and displays information about the sizes of records and tape files. If a  des-
       tination  is  specified,  tcopy makes a copies the source tape onto the destination tape, with blocking preserved. As it copies, tcopy pro-
       duces the same output as it does when only scanning a tape.

       The tcopy utility requires the use of Berkeley-compatible device names. For example,

	 example% tcopy /dev/rmt/1b /dev/rmt/2b
