Oops, got the wrong address set up. Tape is streaming happily now.
I recall messages about Everex tape controller/drive combinations not
streaming well (i.e. running very slowly despite providing buffering in
cpio and similar tricks) but I have no such problems. Of course Unix can't
keep up with the tape drive so the drive has to stop once in a while, but
making a backup goes very fast and is very convenient now.
