Randy, Don't know if you got any feed back or not, (Didn't see any replies), but I have been using taper. It is a small, graphical (non-X) tape program. It does compression and I have been getting around 1.5-2.0 compression with it. Don't know if your tape drive is listed, but I am sure it is as taper will use it as it has everything else. Hope this helps.... ________________________________ Mike Acklin [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Home) Debian Newbie (Please bear with me!) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
