I, on the other hand, have had a terrible time attempting to get SCO's
TCP/IP installed (it craps out during the install process) and it took
two letters to "support at sco.com" before I got a response. That was a
month ago. Then we played phone tag for a week; finally I got a response
in email "gee, it works everywhere else just fine."

It's still on the shelf waiting to be properly installed.
