PRODUCT NAMES: SCO TCP/IP Runtime System for SCO XENIX
     
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
    - Runtime support for the BSD-compatible "sendmail" mailer
    - Runtime  support for  the AT&T  V.3 Transport  Library Interface
      (TLI)
    - Support of subnetworks and gateways
    - User-friendly installation and configuration procedures
    - 3Com, IBM, and Western Digital LAN card support
    - Asynchronous SLIP 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.
