- I asked IBM Defect Support (USA) about this several months ago when I
- first received IBM's TCP/IP 1.2. They said it wasn't supported.

- The alternative is to execute the command on your Unix host where the
- tape drive is local -- but reference the file system on your OS/2 machine.
- You can do what you wanted to do in the first place, just not as
- conveniently. Once you get that worked out, make it a script, then invoke
- it via rsh from the OS2 machine... Kind of Rube-Goldbergish, but it
- should work.
