Hello..
I'm interesten in any info or experiences you can tell me about Xenix
and Modems.
I want to install a modem to a 486 machine .. runninx SCO Xenix (with 
DOS 5.0 on the other disk partition).
I tried with the sysadmsh System->Add->Serial but the xenix don;t looks 
like know the modem .. the sysadmsh works fine on single-user
and when i go to multiuser and enable the terminal (i.e. tty1A) the
xenix starts complaining .. with cannot open tty1A: errno 6
i tried with the 4 different's com (1-4) and every port send the same
result .. except port 1 where a mouse is installed .. 
the funny part is that from DOS i can use the modem on com4 and the mouse
on COM1 .. 
When the system goes up only recognize the serial port COM1 .. 
any ideas ? hints ? manuals to read ? i have to check the system administrator
manual.
Any help will be appreciated.,. 
Thanks a lot
