I am having FAX dataswitch problem and I think dataswitch is already
obsolete!  Archive told my friends over the phone that there is regular
ISC setup on changing default and right now the driver is still the same
but I am waiting for instructions on modifying on configuration or
default setting.  ISC comes with Wekteg tape driver that have 125 MegB
read and read.  I am told that ISC can read QIC 24 on 60meg but write
only 125 Meg.

Everyone - please post if you got any informaiton from Archive setting.
Archive is really popular tape driver for either Unix and MS-DOS and
this works excellent for Xenix and SCO Unix.
