There used to be a BBS run by SCO where you could get the latest and greatest
information on their product offerings, along with lots of nifty programs.
I tried calling the old number and got a "no longer in service" recorded
message. Does anybody know if this BBS still exists and what the new phone
number is???

Does anybody know if this BBS still exists and what the new phone >number is??? The SCO technical support BBS is still alive and well. However, it does require a support contract for access. If you have a support contract and need to know how to access the BBS, send me mail. If you are interested in low-cost access to this service (WARNING! WARNING! commercial plug in progress) we offer a BBS-only level of support for $95 per year. This gives you access to our technical support database, technical how-to articles, product announcements, etc. Another service is downloading fixes via UUCP. This service is available to anyone, free of charge. Below are instructions for connecting and downloading, and a list of current fixes. Ross Oliver Technical Support The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc. ---------------------------------------------- Selected Support Level Supplements (SLS) are available for transfer using UUCP. This service is available to any SCO customer regardless of support status. To use this service, you should be familiar with setting up and using UUCP as described in the chapter "Building a Remote Network with UUCP" in the SCO XENIX System Administrator's Guide. Before attempting to transfer an SLS, you must have a modem configured to dial out from your computer. For more information on configuring a modem, see chapter 14, "Using Terminals and Modems," in the System Administrator's Guide. Once you have your modem configured for dialing out, you must set up your UUCP configuration to recognize the SCO system which contains the SLS's. If you have a 2400 baud or lower modem, add the following line to the end of the "Systems" configuration file in the directory /usr/lib/uucp: sosco Any ACU Any 14084253502 ogin:-@-ogin:-@-ogin: uusls If you have a Telebit brand modem, use the following line: sosco Any ACU Any 14084291786 ogin:-@-ogin:-@-ogin: uusls Once your system is configured, you can use the uucp(C) command to request files from the remote system. All files reside in the directory /usr/spool/uucppublic/SLS. The first file that should be transferred is /usr/spool/uucppublic/SLS/info. The uucp(C) command to transfer this file into the directory /usr/spool/uucppublic on your system is: uucp sosco!/usr/spool/uucppublic/SLS/info /usr/spool/uucppublic/info If you are using the C shell command interpreter, you must enter a backslash character "\" before the exclamation mark "!" to prevent the C shell history mechanism from intercepting the rest of the command line. The "info" file contains the names of all other files that are available and instructions on how to install the SLS's once they have been transferred to your system. The info file will be updated as new SLS's are added, and can be periodically downloaded to check for these latest additions.

If you mean the board available to Support Customers, I called it this morning (2/28) and it was still there. There wasn't much new on it though. The number is 408/426-9495. jim
