Yup, what is really needed is a public domain device driver for a few
common ethernet cards to operate under SCO Xenix .  Were these creatures
available then the ka9q package will work for you.  However, unless
one has this non-existant driver then the only thing ka9q or kermit will
do is get you SLIP access to another host that may have the capabilities
that you are after.  Anybody got any ideas why there is no development
in this area?  Russ Nelson:  could the packet drivers be ported to Xenix?
