Sigh.  And another reason you may not see too much criticisim 
of Xenix in this newsgroup is that such articles draw personal
attacks from Xenix zealots.  I would have expected this from
one of those pre-pubescent bulletin boards, but expected a more
civilized response from a Usenet technical newsgroup.

If the answer to my question was so trivial, why didn't SCO answer
it over the phone?  A simple "you need the Telebit disk" would have
sufficed.  SCO's "hotline" may be single-handedly keeping the other
Intel-based unix flavors in business.

I see I was correct in my decision to stick to big iron.  Leave
PC's to the children.
