Lan Manager is a possibility but I don't recall SCO supporting LMX (Lan
Manager/Unix).

Both AT&T and HP do support it. AT&T runs LMX over both ISO and Netbui, HP
is running over IEEE TCP-IP. Either one of these would call for replacing
SCO Unix with either SysV or HP/UX.

When both SCO and AT&T start shipping their Intel binary compatable versions
of Unix (R4?), then AT&T's LM/X is supposed to run on SCO. Of course AT&T has
a "SystemPro" solution too - StarServer E - 106mip multiproccesor PC.
