Add that to the growing list of items which makes LAI TCP/IP lame.
I tried to get hold of SCO regarding failure of their TCP/IP to
adhere to accepted standards by providing support for UUCP connections.
Last Friday, a tech support guy called me and suggested using SMTP.
Sorry, but some of the sites I talk to require UUCP over TCP/IP -
PERIOD. It seems to me that they'd have to make a EFFORT to EXCLUDE
UUCP support instead of INCLUDE it. I mean, if they have a UNIX
source code license, they already have the support in there. Why would
they intentionally cripple a piece of software? Thats what irks me.
Anyways, my phone died in the middle of the conversation with the
SCO rep and he hasn't called me back. I can't get support for my
customers or my own systems. Thats why we'll be dropping our SCO
Reseller Contract soon and will be sticking with Interactive.
