Xenix-Net is netbios-based networking and just dandy for talking to other Xenix boxes, DOS boxes running IBM PC Networking and maybe TCP/IP boxes IF you are running it on top of TCP/IP. Since all you want is TCP/IP, Xenix-Net is an unnecessary addition. -- 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
