Hi,
I'm trying to copy the 386BSD kit doing the following :

On my Ultrix workstation )
	tar cvf /dev/rmt2m 386bsd.files 
rmt?m = QIC-150 fixed block size

On my PC at home)
	tar xvf /dev/as2a

This results in a lot of error mesg.

What is the problem,
should I use rmt?l (= QIC-120 fixed block size)?
