PRODUCT NAMES: SCO TCP/IP Runtime System (for the SCO UNIX System)
               SCO TCP/IP Development System (for the SCO UNIX System)

DESCRIPTION: SCO  TCP/IP provides  high-performance  Ethernet,  Token-
  Ring, and  asynchronous network  connections to  a wide  variety  of
  operating systems  and computers.  The SCO TCP/IP package contains a
  complete protocol suite, including:

    - TCP, UDP, IP, ARP, ICMP and SMTP
    - Standard DoD Internet, Telnet and FTP utilities
    - Set of BSD 4.3 "r-commands"
    - BSD 4.3 standard socket library
    - BSD-compatible "sendmail" mailer
    - BSD-compatible "LPD" distributed print spooling subsystem
    - AT&T V.3 Transport Library Interface (TLI) support
    - X/Open Transport Interface (XTI) support
    - Subnetworks and gateway support
    - SNMP Network Management support
    - User-friendly installation and configuration procedures
    - 3Com, IBM,  HP, Racal Datacomm, Excelan, and SMC/Western Digital
      LAN card support
    - Asynchronous CLIP and PPP drivers

  SCO TCP/IP  consists of  the  SCO  TCP/IP  Runtime  System  and  the
  optional SCO  TCP/IP Development System. The Runtime System contains
  the base  TCP/IP  system,  including  all  utilities,  and  supports
  applications that  use the  SCO TCP/IP socket library interface. The
  SCO  TCP/IP  Development  System  contains  the  SCO  TCP/IP  socket
  libraries for  inclusion in  applications that  developers intend to
  run on the SCO TCP/IP Runtime System.

NOTES:

  (1) Please  refer to  the SCO TCP/IP for the SCO UNIX System Release
  1.2 datasheet  or the  SCO TCP/IP  and SCO  NFS Technical Question &
  Answer Paper  for further  product information.  Refer  to  the  SCO
  TCP/IP for the SCO UNIX System Release 1.2 Update Sheet for specific
  information on  features new  in Release  1.2. These  documents  are
  scheduled for availability in July/August, 1992.

  (2) Release  1.1 of  the SCO  TCP/IP Development System is not fully
  compatible with  Release 1.2 of the SCO TCP/IP Runtime System -- new
  applications cannot  be linked  using Release 1.1 of the Development
  System  on  a  machine  with  Release  1.2  of  the  Runtime  System
  installed.   Release 1.2  of the  SCO TCP/IP Runtime System is fully
  compatible with  applications compiled  with socket  libraries  from
  previous releases  of the SCO TCP/IP Development System, so existing
  applications will still run.

  (3) Effective immediately, all new orders for SCO TCP/IP for the SCO
  UNIX System  will be  held until  Release 1.2.0 is available. 

  (4) The  SCO TCP/IP  Release 1.2  Upgrades take  users  of  previous
  releases of the SCO TCP/IP Runtime System and SCO TCP/IP Development
  System to  the Release  1.2 level. Each Upgrade consists of complete
  media distribution  and  documentation.  To  install  the  Upgrades,
  customers  must  use  their  previous  Activation  Keys  and  Serial
  Numbers. The  SCO TCP/IP  Runtime System  Upgrade is appropriate for
  either 2-user or unlimited-license systems.
  
  Upgrades for customers in North America will be available from SCO
  direct.  Call 800-746-8649.

  (5) Release  3.0 of  the SCO  LLI Driver Package Release included in
  Release 1.2 of the SCO TCP/IP Runtime System for the SCO UNIX System
  is the  latest as  of July,  1992. The  SCO LLI  Driver  Package  is
  revised frequently  to add additional card support. As a result, the
  latest SCO  LLI Driver  Package is also available for downloading on
  SCO Support  Bulletin Boards  or  as  a  low-cost  Extended  Feature
  Supplement (EFS).

  (6) The  SCO TCP/IP Runtime System Documentation Set consists of the
  SCO  TCP/IP  Runtime  System  for  SCO  UNIX  System  V/386  Command
  Reference and  the SCO  TCP/IP Runtime  System for  SCO UNIX  System
  V/386 User's and Administrator's Guide.

  (7) SCO TCP/IP was developed by Interactive Systems Corporation, and
  is based  on LACHMAN  SYSTEM V  STREAMS TCP,  a joint development of
  Interactive Systems Corporation and Convergent Technologies.
