I am contemplating buying the CocoNet networking system. What is attracting me is that it works with Dos, Novell and Xenix-Net. Does anyone have any comments? Does anyone know if CocoNet will work with an Excelan ethernet network? My situation involves about a dozen machines running Dos and Xenix over an ethernet network. Is there anything else that I should be lookin at? The last question is particularly important because I do want to use Xenix-Net (And BTW does anyone know if SCO will be bringing out a UNIX-NET?)

It does work, although it still has a few (very minor) bugs. I am working with it at work. The largest network I have seen it on has been about 15 or so PS/2s, with 3 or 4 terminals also working off the main server. >Does anyone have any comments? >Does anyone know if CocoNet will work with an Excelan ethernet >network? Not yes, but soon (I think) >My situation involves about a dozen machines running Dos and Xenix over >an ethernet network.

When you get CocoNet it includes Xenix-Net. JB -- Jonathan Bayer Intelligent Software Products, Inc. (201) 245-5922 500 Oakwood Ave. jbayer@ispi.COM Roselle Park, NJ 07204
