When I run 'ontape -r', it asks me if I want to restore from an archive
tape (an 8mm tape) after restoring from level0 backup (a DLT tape). Is
there any way to just go straight to that 8mm tape for restore and
bypass the hour I have to wait for the level0 restore to complete
before getting the prompt for archive tape restore?

thanks!

Where would Informix begin the process? Are you looking to restore
only the transactions in a given log?
