"scanner -i" will work, *provided* you have a client defined that has the 
same clientid as the client on tape that you want. I have done that a few 
times - I have a separate NW server at one of my sites, and I was able to 
scan tapes made on that NW server, back here on my NW server, once I had 
created a client here with the same clientid as the client has on the 
other server.

ClientIDs must match; client names do not.

Oh, and a fake entry in the hosts files - NW won't create the client 
without one.

However, I have only ever recovered "regular" filesets, not modules (i.e., 
never tried for a MSSQL: recover) from a tape created on a foreign NW 
server.
