Thanks, Andy and Mike Collins.
I will try the win95 client with long names. Also, just saw the beta
redbook on bare metal restores at
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com./SG244880/i402ma09.htm.
It looks very complicated (using LFNBK, etc.). Any comment? Do you know
if its working for others successfully? Is it good use of time to
pursue?
