A  couple of weeks ago I posted an article entitled floundering  describing  a 
few of the dificutlies we were having as new users of xenix, the  explanations 
and/or solutiions to the problems are as follows:

1.  The  computone  serial  ports uses a special null  modem  cable  the  wire 
assignments are as follows: 2-3, 3-2, 4-5, 5-4, 7-7, 8-20, 20-8.

2.  Xenix  doesn't automatically cylcle through baud rates, you have  to  tell 
your users to send a break at their terminal.  Does anyone know of a  possible 
workaround for this?

3.  Xenix  does not recognize a DOS 4.* partition.  There is  no  work  around 
available  for  this,   and  there  are no plans by  SCO  to  fix  this.   The 
explanation  given  to us was that DOS 5.0 is about to be  released,  so  they 
weren't going to worry about 4.

Hope this may help some other rookies out there, and thanks a million for  all 
the great support we recieved.
