When installing the 3C523/B in machines under SCO Xenix it is necessary
to edit the file /etc/strcf and to insert the line:
| cenet ip /dev/3comC 3comC 0 |
|
| after the line: |
|
| loopback ip |
Apricot are writing the 3C527 driver for SCO Unix; the work is being
done in association with 3Com. This driver is available now in beta form from the Unix
front end server. The final release driver will be made available in the same manner once
it is released.
Please note that only the Excelan EXOS 205T card is known to work in the
old AT Bus VX1000 systems under Xenix. All other Ethernet cards are not supported in this
machine.
