My info is over a year old, but I was told that I had to upgrade so many things such as BSD sockets that I ended up with Unix -- i.e. I had to upgrade to SCO Unix in order to have NFS. I'm currently using Recal/Interlan's NP621-386 TCP/IP package. My dealer may not be the sharpest in this area, but my repeated inquiries in this subject have not turned up anything to change the basic premises of what I jsut told you. If you hear anything majorly different, I, too, would like to know :-) -- Travis Bissett NSTAR conferencing site 219-289-0287 internet: tbissett@nstar.rn.com 1300 newsgroups - 8 inbound lines uucp: ..!uunet!nstar.rn.com!tbissett 99 file areas - 4300 megabytes --- backbone news & mail feeds available - contact larry@nstar.rn.com ---
