I use SCO NFS at my site.  It was apparently released only a short time
ago and is still version 1.0.  As I understand it, NFS is only supported
for SCO Unix 3.2 and later; they do not support it under Xenix.  In any
event, SCO is phasing out Xenix; I don't think they sell it any more.
All Xenix applications are supported by the Unix package they now sell;
they spent a fair amount of time and money merging their Xenix and System
V products to come up with the combined, compatible product.

My suggestion is therefore to upgrade to Unix 3.2.2 and get NFS.  Ask
your SCO distributor if there's a deal he can give you on the upgrade;
I have no idea what their policy is.  Though I do know the company would
love to stop supporting Xenix ASAP.
