[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] Telnet for Xenix

OBYRNE@AC.DAL.CA (OWEN BYRNE) (04/18/91)

Does anybody know where to get a public domain or cheap version of Telnet/FTP 
for an SCO Xenix system. I've looked on uunet.uu.net and found source for 
Telnet that seems to work for just about every other UNIX system made.

The very latest C-Kermit 5a does this. At least on the sparc I have
access to. SET HOST connects to the internet host specified and a
subsequent CONNECT opens a terminal session.

as 5a also compiles on xenix it should work there also.

Uh, you have to have TCP/IP running here, as you would on a sparc,
but TCP/IP is an extra cost add-on (and it includes telnet)
in Xenix.

Yup, what is really needed is a public domain device driver for a few
common ethernet cards to operate under SCO Xenix .  Were these creatures
available then the ka9q package will work for you.  However, unless
one has this non-existant driver then the only thing ka9q or kermit will
do is get you SLIP access to another host that may have the capabilities
that you are after.  Anybody got any ideas why there is no development
in this area?  Russ Nelson:  could the packet drivers be ported to Xenix?
