I am looking for suggestions on TCP/IP and NFS (very important) packages for SCO XENIX 386 (GT). I need to network several 386s running SCO XENIX and Interactive UNIX to a SparcStation 1+ and a NeXT. It is easy to network the SparcStation, NeXT, and Interactive UNIX 386 ... but XENIX is a complete mystery to me. I don't have the option of upgrading to SCO UNIX for the next little while. Thanks in advance, :-) Joe jchin@van-bc.wimsey.bc.ca -- ************************************************************** * "Kill the body and the head will die" (Hunter S.

My info is over a year old, but I was told that I had to upgrade so many things such as BSD sockets that I ended up with Unix -- i.e. I had to upgrade to SCO Unix in order to have NFS. I'm currently using Recal/Interlan's NP621-386 TCP/IP package. My dealer may not be the sharpest in this area, but my repeated inquiries in this subject have not turned up anything to change the basic premises of what I jsut told you. If you hear anything majorly different, I, too, would like to know :-) -- Travis Bissett NSTAR conferencing site 219-289-0287 internet: tbissett@nstar.rn.com 1300 newsgroups - 8 inbound lines uucp: ..!uunet!nstar.rn.com!tbissett 99 file areas - 4300 megabytes --- backbone news & mail feeds available - contact larry@nstar.rn.com ---
