The virtues of archiving!
Anyway, I finally did this cuz I had an extra hard drive that had I had no
other use for and the copying/mounting method didn't work.
The problem I have (1.4b2+asun2.14, kernel 2.2.14 on COL 2.3) is if I
connect to them via IP, as soon as they're accessed, the linux server gets
disconnected (OS 9 on the workstation). Attach via AppleTalk and it's
fine--albeit much slower.
Ring any bells for anyone?
