But I don't know how to mount the Vax >drive to NT. I would be using a VAX4700 running ver 6.2... I'm making an assumption here that you're talking about a disk drive. If you want to make a VMS disk appear as a drive letter on NT, you can use Microsoft's built-in network client with either Pathworks (commercial stuff from Digital) or Samba, its free semi-clone (see http://http://lake.canberra.edu.au/pub/samba/ for details), or NFS. The latter two require that you have TCP/IP running on the VAX. Going the other way might not be so pretty. I haven't peeked at the VMS Samba port in a while, but the original UNIX version has a tool called smbtar that lets you server-driven backup things with LanMan-type clients. -- Troll Patrol, Interim Signal Officer
