As it turns out, SCO licenses VP/ix from Interactive (who developed VP/ix
with Phoenix) and makes it available for both Xenix and UNIX. They also,
as I understand it, license Lachman's TCP/IP, but Lachman is now part of
Kodak (as is Interactive). According to the ODT Release Notes, both Merge
and VP/ix can be supported. As far as ISC is concerned, however, I suspect
one IS limited to VP/ix alone, as Jack suggests.
