Where can I get any files or patches which will make my SCSI tape drive work?
I heard ref.tfs.com had them, I could not find them there.  My mail to there
bounced.

Also, this may sound stupid, but where are the patches?  I don't remember seeing
them on agate.bberkeley.edu, perhaps they are there anyway.
There are some patches which I should -not- apply?  I saw a list re that topic
earlier.  Please put it in the README where the patches are.  Thanks.

Also, what is the big to-do about crypt?  Does the current version of 386BSD
not encrypt the passwords when it stores them?  That sounds far too
braiin damaged for a useful Unix machine.  I thought crypt() was freely available
by FTP... Maybe I'm wrong.  Do I need to modify my libraries to use a proper 
crypt?
