Hello everyone ..first apologize for the long letter :) i need some suggestions on network configuartions for SCO Xenix System V (2.3.2). We have two machines with SCO Xenix Installed and want to make a connection between them. I've been reading the system administrator's guide and found the choices of UUCP and micnet , but i think that they don't offer the features we need . Basically we want to allow remote login between the machines and to mount directories from one machine to other (export directories to the other machine) to make file transfer and to make on line consults of information. I'm not really used to work with UUCP or micnet so .. that's why i'm asking for help. I think that TCP/IP and NFS (Network File System) can solve the problem but i'm not sure if this software is supported under this operating system (i usually work with other UNIX systems) Well you see .. i used to work with the firsts verion of SCO and don't recall to read about this support.. but things have changed (thank god) and there's posibilites now. Thanks a zillion in advance .. any comments will be appreciated.
