- The only "fix" for this is to purchase the Sun Backup Copilot 1.0 product.
- It includes a dump replacement program that knows how to communicate with a
- new networked operator monitor. When your remote dump hits end-of-tape, it
- doesn't belch as you describe. Instead, it connects to the only display it
- has (the network monitor, that is) and you can answer the prompts from
- there. The same holds true for the restore program. Backup Copilot, of
- course, includes much more than this.
