I just installed 2.3.2 on a PS/2 Model 80. I also bought SCO's tcpip knowing it had no drivers for the PS/2. I have a 3com 3c523 and the UngerMan Bass card for the ps/2. Does anyone know of any drivers for these cards, or a tcpip that will work with them? Thanks for any info. -randy -- Randy Suess randy@chinet.chi.il.us

It has support for the PS/2 card. The driver is available under non-disclosure from Western Digital to resellers and others 'in the biz'; they may be willing to send it to you. SCO should have a copy of this driver, and ought to have it in their release. We use our own instead because we wanted to support the 3com 503 in its shared memory mode. Write me for more info. For the record, we have had only 2 inquiries for TCP on PS/2 machines; this lack of interest is probably why SCO TCP/IP has no PS/2 drivers. Most people who buy PS/2's go the whole IBM route: DOS, OS/2, or AIX and Token Ring. Lance Norskog Sales Engineer Streamlined Networks thinman@cup.portal.com 415-659-1450

This bit of info may or may not be of much use to you since you said you already purchased SCO, but particularly for those out there owning PS/2's I would take a hard look at AIX PS/2. It has TCP/IP with the driver for the Ungerman Bass card, (or token ring for those that care) I don't think we yet have a 3com driver but believe we soon may. It also has real BSD job control (if you've never used it you don't know what you're missing) and symbolic links. And if you have an 8514 video adapter and monitor X windows is dynamite. Also, cost is fully competitive with vendors like SCO and Interactive. I know, I know this must be sounding like an advertisement considering my signature but I am quite serious. I would run AIX on turnkey but it is not a PS/2. Anybody who is even slightly biased to the BSD environment should run to their local Businessland and see a demo. The only more fully BSD based Unix for the 386 is Sun. Naturally, standard Disclaimers apply. -- Jack F.

I took AIX off the PS/2 and put XENIX on because XENIX is more UNIX than AIX could ever hope to be. True, xwindows is nice. However, has anyone ever heard of a C compiler on any other UNIX put out a 4 line copyright message every time cc is invoked?? Sure makes "nohup make emacs" fun looking for errors in the nohup.out file. Many UNIX tools are replaced just because IBM wanted to. No lp, lpr. Just print. Doesn't msdos have print? AIX is not UNIX. It is IBM's version of a user friendly multiuser DOS. -randy -- Randy Suess randy@chinet.chi.il.us
