One slightly more important than the other depending on how you look at it. Technical Information: Machine : Pentium/90 Ma'Board: PCI bus with SCSI Card Drives : 4x CDROM in cd0a Techmar DAT Drive in st0 1 GIG internal drive os ver : FreeBSD 2.0r My first problem is that whenever I get a connection from my Xyplex terminal server to the machine, I get a break character (^@) visible starting before the Password prompt, and it stays forever thereafter. The only fix that I can see is using ^J all the time :) This does not occur whenever someone telnets remotely from anywhere else - just the Xyplex. I understand that Xyplex does suck, but I can not see any reason why this happens. :) Any help would be great. Next issue is BACKUPS... as I stated Above, I have a Techmar DAT (2 gig) drive, and all my UNIX books, and manuals, and man pagers only talk about magnetic tapes in rmt*, not rst*. I figured just subistuting st with rt would work, but this is not the case. If anyone has a DAT that they're using, please enlighten me on this!
