hi,

Today I was given a blank order form and asked to order SCO's TCP/IP. Now
this is all very nice but I'd like to know how well [or badly] it performs
on a 386 system. We are running SCO Xenix 2.3.2 on an 80386/20.

Some things I would like to know:

* What is the latest version available
* What are its features (ie: telnet, rlogin, ftp, else?)
* What are its limits?
* Have you found any bugs in the s/w?
* Is there a better (cheaper?) product availble that will run on SCO Xenix.
* Will it run with a 3Com Etherlink I (3C501) or Etherlink II (3C503) without
  problems?

Also we are looking at getting the runtime system. Will this have all I nned?
what exactly is the difference between the TCP/IP RTS and the Devsys.

I will post a summary of any/all replies.

Thanks for any help you can give!

Richard.
