...most of whom were extremely generous with their dump scripts (it'll

take me several days to look through them all)...sorry to anyone who i

inadvertantly left off the list...

Regarding my second question, there wasn't a whole lot of

feedback....however I did receive the following reply from Mr. Glenn

Satchell in response to that question:

Never had this second problem. We do backups across the net all the

time and always just use the 0n device, never needed to use the BSD

compatability stuff.

Once again, thanks to all who responded.... -cjc
