If that's the case, then they owe us a big chunk of money. :-) Let me throw some cold facts on the fire of confusion: The TCP/IP that AT&T will sell you for 5.3.n was done by the Wollongong Group. The NFS that they will sell you for 5.3.n was done by Lachman Associates, and was ported to run over WIN*. The TCP/IP that will be part of 5.4 was done by Lachman Associates and went to AT&T via Sun Microsystems. The NFS that will be part of 5.4 was done by Sun, since 5.4 is vnode-based, not FSS-based. INTERACTIVE liked Lachman's NFS so much they bought the company. INTERACTIVE's host-based TCP/IP is not derived from Lachman's TCP/IP. INTERACTIVE did their TCP/IP themselves. SCO got their TCP/IP and NFS from Lachman. Hope this helps... -- Steve ---- *WIN is a trademark of the Wollongong Group. -- Steve Alexander, Software Technologies Group | stevea@i88.isc.com INTERACTIVE Systems Corporation, Naperville, IL | ...!{sun,ico}!laidbak!stevea
