Dear BSD Gurus,

I am having a problem with my SCSI tape  drive.  The kernel recog. the
tape drive but i cannot do a dump to the tape.

when ever i do a dump i get an error.... media corrupted....

someone told me that the tape must be formated firstfirst... i cannot
find any information in the lizard book about formating the tape..

any ideas will be appreciated.

Also does anyone have any success with Win95 through PPP or SLIP?
I can't seem to get the connection running... i understand MS dors not
use the RFC standard for PPP...any workarounds???
