- Hello all,
-
- At this facility our current configuration is:
- VAX 6430
- 64 mb memory
- VMS v. 5.5-1
- WIN TCP 5.2
-
- I have a need to run a tape drive (9 track type or something similar) that is
- located in a remote facility. We are connected to that facility through DECNET.
- We can also connect to them through Internet.
-
- We have Imprint running here, and that makes a couple of the laser printers
- look like nodes on the cluster, question: Do you need special software to run
- a Tape drive remotely? I need to do everything from here, except hang and
- take-off the tape. With the network, we have capability to print
- to printers remotely. We can also talk to all the Pc's and Mac's on the
- network.
-
- I know about Remote Tape Facility from System Management Software, but before
- I send for a demo copy I was wondering if there was an alternative solution.
-
- Any help would be appreciated.
- Thanks in advance.
