That's because the xenix5 configuration does not include the networking
support.  You need to start with the conf/os/xenix5 file and make a
few small changes.  I call that xenix5+tcp.  You should copy the
`xenix5' file to `xenix5+tcp', apply this patch, select `xenix5+tcp'
as the OS_TYPE in EDITME, and then rebuild.

Perhaps this person is talking about Tandy 6000 XENIX from back
in the days of lore, and not SCO XENIX.  Tandy 6000 XENIX older
than say about version 3.2 did not contain 'uucp' or the 'vi'
editor (a little hard to believe... but true).  As most of us
know, SCO XENIX does uucp just fine with ONLY a run-time system
Of course, you do have to make sure that the package is
installed (check "custom").

I have a problem with a modem not answering (tty2A).  I have checked

pick up the line.

This is a Boca v.32bis modem that works flawlessly under DOS, and even
works great under ECU (latest release).

This has me stumped, and I would like to get it resolved.  Is there some
special magic I need to preform in gettydefs or some such?

Under 2.3.2 an Archive Viper 150mb tape drive, all worked ok.  
Upgraded to 2.3.4 and now the tape drive hangs.  (the tape driver is
configured using mkdev tape)              
I informed him of the problem with 2.3.4 using dma channel 3, and had
him apply the patch to the kernel found in the release notes.  He did and
reported back that the problem persisted.       
Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated.

I can see no problems at all.. I have run Xenix386 on a 486DX33 for a

It happily thought it was a damn fast 386 (it even reported finding a 387)

There is no such beast.  SCO Xenix does not have the same flexible
filesystem interface that SCO Unix and SVR4 have, so it is very
difficult to implement NFS for it.  Lachmann was once reported to have
a version of NFS for Xenix in-house, but never released it because it
amounted to a more-or-less complete rewrite of the Xenix filesystem
code in the kernel -- i.e., it would have been a support nightmare.

If you really need NFS on that system, you will have to upgrade to SCO
Unix.

  I have trouble with "file.h" and "time.h" when trying to compile
Kermit.  I picked it up from Anomoly.  I get over 100 errors and the
compiler doesn't seem to like the declarations in my header files.
These are the standard include files that I installed from the
Development system.  The version I have is Xenix 2.2.1.

  The compiler specifically complains that it doesn't like the type
"far" and it doesn't like the union declaration withing a struct
statement.  Has anyone had a problem like this (AS IF, anyone still
uses 2.2.1!  I'm upgrading to Unix soon, but I GOTTA have Kermit, or
I'm doomed to using BLAST) or is my development system screwed?

-=- Brett

PS  Sorry I don't remember specific error messages, I'm at home now.
The compiler just doesn't like the include files at ALL!

Bullshit.  Unless you are saying that the Extended Utilities disks you
get with Xenix are not part of the RTS.  HDB UUCP is included in the
Basic Xenix Runtime package.

Hi all:
I've seen discussion of this in the past, but when I looked at the FAQ
I can't find it. Briefly, I have a client that will be running SCO Unix
ver 3.2.4 on a 486-33 Wyse. He is also buying software from another vendor
and this vendor says that he requires the Development System from SCO.

I asked this vendor if the GNU GCC compiler would do, he said  "maybe".

Has the GNU C compiler been compiled for SCO ver 3.2.4.?
Is there an archive for SCO binaries, etc., for the GNU "C" suite?

I will summarize for the net if any interest is shown.

The problem could be that DTR (pin 20) is not being asserted, and your
modem may be configured to not answer if DTR is off. Try issuing the
command "AT&D0" to tell your modem to assume DTR is always high. Also make
sure that the S0=1 is issued in the chat script *after you disconnect*
(since I gather that you use your modem for dial-in/dial-out).

Yep.  It's in the Unix 3.2v4.x release notes (Appendix A).
If you don't have a printed copy and do have Unix 3.2v4.x, run:
	man releasenotes
Unfortunately, an online copy of the release notes does not
appear in Xenix or previous versions of SCO Unix.

SCO also has the "SCO Hardware Compatibility Handbook" (June 1992).
which includes all kinds of systems, hardware, cards, controllers,
adapters, and gizmos which one can use to throw together a working
Unix/Xenix box.  134 pages.  Included are SCO versions supported and
whether additional software/drivers are required.  Also included are
whether the system survived the "SCO test suites" (whatever that is).
One big omission is that SCO did NOT include CD-ROM drives in this list.

I just checked the SCO Support BBS.  No list of supported systems
(or I couldn't fabricate a search criteria that would find any).
However, there is a huge list of supported tape drives and controllers
available.  It's divided by Unix/Xenix/ODT versions.

Though you do need XNX316 for scsi tapes...

I have recently started running out of reserved ports used
by rsh (ports < 1023).

Has anyone found a solution for this problem?

I have run into this on both a Sun running SunOS 4.1.2
and a Solbourne running OS/MP 4.1A.1
