Don't you have rexec or rsh on the system to just pipe the dd output

being on your AT&T
dd if=/dev/diskdevice | rsh modern-unix-host dd of=diskimage
or the other way round - being on your modern-unix System:
rsh old-unix-host dd if=/dev/diskdevice | dd of="diskimage"
instead of "dd of..." "cat" might also work
What I was thinking of was squirting
'/dev/rawdisk' somehow out the
ethernet.
Ahhhh, I hadn't thought of that, but of course that seems like an
ideal solution. I wonder if I can get 'netcat' to work... Or just dd
in small blocks of, say, 1MB each, with dd offsets, and FTP the
chunks somewhere.
Anyway, you've given me lots to think about. Thanks!
