Chaps,
Any suggestions on ways we could have a tape drive 3490 in a remote
location attached to our mainframe. We are talking about 1 thousand of
miles. Speed is not important
Use ftp instead ?
Transmitted files could be:
a) recorded on CD or DVD,
b) use "locally attached" mainframe to record tapes, even in friendly
location, using those DVDs as a source.
c) use some software + PC attached 3490.
Otherwise use channel extenders - both link and devices will be expensive.
IMHO CD is better than 3490. Every shop has at least one PC with CD
drive, while not every one has such model of tape drives.
My $0.02.
