I'll ask Paul's question slightly differently.
How can you WANT to run any slower (see below).

This was your biggest, and speediest successful taping.
It only ran at 4300 bytes/sec
               1/4 megabyte per minute
               15  megabytes per HOUR

If you will pay me, I'll hand write the data.  It might be faster :))

Something is seriously wrong with your network connection to your vtape.

I strongly urge you to fix your network connection rather than continue
to try to get amanda (or any application) to work with a broken network.

NO
