Anybody using a Specialix SI-Host card 2.0 together with SCO UNIX TCP/IP? I tried to install TCP/IP today, but after this the Specialix card didn't work anymore! At the time the network daemons were started, the red lights on the Specialix Terminal Adapters went on and the serial ports didn't work anymore! So, does anybody else use this combination?? -- Ronald van der Pol <rvdp@cs.vu.nl>

We are ! You probably have a problem with the ethernet card confliting with the specialix card. If you have a WD ethernet card or have installed the driver for one it will stomp on the 0xd000 memory segment which is the defualt address for the specialix card. You don;t specify what sort of system (mca,eisa, at) you are running so I can't tel you where to move the card to however if you contact specialix tech support (support@specialix.co.uk) they will be able to help. >-- > Ronald van der Pol <rvdp@cs.vu.nl> -- John Pettitt, Specialix International, Email: jpp@specialix.com Tel +44 (0) 9323 54254 Fax +44 (0) 9323 52781 Disclaimer: Me, say that ?
