Hello everybody!

I have a bit problem with a tape device. I have an Exabyte 8500 tape drive
connected to a little SPARCstation that is acting as a remote device server.
I would however like the users on a central SPARCserver to be able to access
the tape drive like it was locally connected. Any ideas? I cannot unfort-
unately rely on my users to figure out how to use rsh, rmt and that stuff.


Thanks in advance!
