I am looking for any cheep viable soultion possible! I know of two options: 1) Cards and tcp/ip software from Excelan. 2) (not tcp/ip) Xenix-Net, using either the above Excelan HW and SW as an underlying layer or using Sytek 6120 cards. This provides a more user-friendly interface than tcp/ip (ie, you can use pathnames and standard Xenix utilities within a trusted consumer network). It might be worth your while to also check out Interlan but I have personal experience with the above two. -- Roger Knopf SCO Consulting Services uunet!sco!rogerk or rogerk@sco.com "...and he's got bare feet, too." 408-425-7222 (voice) 408-458-4227 (fax) --Charley Watkins
