We're looking for ethernet boards that have Xenix drivers to go in a '386 xenix box. Anybody have any recommendations for different manufacturers? Thanks for any advice. -- -Weaver Hickerson Voice (404) 496-1358 : ..!edu!gatech!holos0!wdh

I got this from SCO the other day: 1. Here is a list of currently supported ethernet cards. Note that the UNIX version of SCO TCP/ip is somewhat different from the XENIX version, and you have to have the right version for the appropriate operating system. Supported network cards under SCO XENIX and SCO UNIX System V/386.
