Does anyone know of a public domain tc/ip which supports the 3COM
ethernet board and which can be compiled and run under SCO Xenix 386?
I have a couple of 3COM ethernet boards gathering dust here and I would
like to put them to good use.
On a different subject, I recently developed two problems with SCO Xenix
386 2.3.1. I recently started experiancing difficulty in getting the lp
command to work properly, ie.
lp filename
results in an error peing printed on the printer to the effect that it
couldn't access the file. It always worked until just recently, SCO
hasn't a clue last I checked although they admitted that it had been
reported by others.
And finally, again recently, when trying to edit a very large file, which
I had always been able to edit previously, and to which no changes had
been made, vi reports the following error:
Tmp file to large
Information, answers, fixes etc. are most appreciated!
Thanks!
Noel

Non-public-domain TCP/IP software for XENIX 386 can be purchased from both SCO and Streamlined Networks. SCO supports the 3COM 3C501 card and the WD8003E (Etherlink Plus); I don't have the SN support at hand, but I would guess they would support these cards (as well as the Bell Tech card, which may just be a repackaged WD8003E.) I have used both packages now, SN/IP under Bell Tech UNIX V and SCO TCP/IP under XENIX 386. They both work and are worth the money. I'll have more to say about SCO TCP/IP once I've had more time to stress it. Phil Karn's KA9Q TCP/IP program is available for non-commercial use and supports DOS out-of-the-box. I've played with an early version under XENIX using SLIP over serial lines--it runs as a user process under UNIX or XENIX. It's conceivable you could hack in ethernet support iff you had a XENIX device driver which gave access to the raw ethernet frames, but the support isn't there otherwise under UNIX. KA9Q has support for ethernet under DOS. -- Steve Dyer dyer@ursa-major.spdcc.com aka {ima,harvard,rayssd,linus,m2c}!spdcc!dyer dyer@arktouros.mit.edu

Ugly but it works. You can always set up an alias like : alias lp "cat $* | lp" -- Robert A.
