Our organization is beginning a 2 year project of phasing out our Harris 1000 mainframe, and phasing in a server-free, integrated network of Unix machines and workstations. We currently have one Xenix system on a Compaq 386/20. If possible we will go with a thin Ethernet, unless the Harris will only accept a thick network. What I need from you are recommendations on which of the three systems, recommended by SCO, to use, if any of them. I remember hearing alot about people using Excelan, and it looks like that is what SCO reccomends, however I would appreciate hearing what users from this group have to say about possible advangtages or disadvantages of going with something other than Excelan, or the other recommended systems. Thanks for any suggestions/advice, Devon Tuck (tuck@iris.ucdavis.edu) Technical Assistance, HEC-CE (916) 551-1748 Ext. 18

After doing a bit of research, I see that my question was phrased unclearly. What I want to know is, which board to choose, and what set of programs works best for people. For example, an Excelan board with Xenix-Net for the Xenix network software, and IBM PC Network for the Dos network software. Sorry about the confusion.
