Okay, we downloaded the "restore" and "dump" add-ons you
have from your area and everything works great! After booting
from your disk we were able to give the command:
restore -ivf backupmachine:/dev/nst0
and got in just fine. This will now allow us to recover
any machine on the network. BTW -- we are baffled why your version
of dump/restore work? Did an "ldd" and saw they use libc.so.6, which
isn't on the floppy -- but they don't seem to need it.
Best regards!
John
