The archmon program is used for directing archivelogs to a tape device instead of a disk drive. According to the "Oracle Backup and Recovery Handbook", on unix System V systems, only the pipe driver is supported (archmon _at_p:SID), so it will only work on a local database. On BSD unix systems, the TCP/IP driver is also supported. However, on my hp-ux system with Oracle 7.3.2.1.0, the only option it would accept was _at_T:hostname:SID (TCP/IP). I'm not running archivelog mode on this database (it's a test system), so I can't tell you if it works on this version of the database.
