	We have installed 205T and 3C503 in DOS,UNIX and XENIX-Systems
	All is working. On DOS we HAVE PC NFS and LAN WORKPLACE, on XENIX
	LAN-WORKPLACE and SCO XENIX NET, on UNIX SCO TCP/IP and SCO NFS.
	As I know, you can't do NETBIOS-calls form DOS without a NETBIOS
	emulation on XENIX. This is a part of XENIX NET.

	Do have edited the proper files: /etc/hosts on DOS and XENIX
	What products do have installed on DOS.
