parameters for TLZ04 using rdump from A/UX

[Laurie Zirkle]

I finally received our TLZ04, and it seems to work pretty well under
Ultrix 4.0.  I can rdump anything from another Ultrix machine without
having to worry about the dump parameters for length.  The problem I
have run into is when rdumping from an A/UX MacII.  The rdump program on
A/UX 2.0 is not quite as robust for foreign machines as I would like.  I
can get rdump to work if I use a blocking factor of 10 from the A/UX
side, but it asks me to change tapes (and I can't believe that a 200mb
disk can use 1.2gb in tape for a dump and then ask for more!).  Can
anyone help with this?  I would really like to dump all those beasts to
this tape drive instead of having to use my one-and-only 9-track tape on
a Sequent.
