[plug] SCO?

[HILL Walter]

			I forgot to mention....

			The "Free" version is only available from SCO's
website. You have to pay for media and shipping costs. It's a two user
version.

			To install it you require a SCSI CD-ROM or an
IDE CD-ROM on an EIDE controller. NB an older style IDE controller will
not work. I tried and failed....

		I'm running OpenServer 5.0.2 at home on a 486DX66 with
32MB RAM. Which also happens to be my LINUX PC.

		Solaris are also giving away "Free" Solaris. Same deal
costs wise and only available from SUN's US website. I don't think that
there is a restriction to the number of users.

		Both products are for NON-Commercial use.

		The SCO's  user restriction is based on the number of
concurrent connections.

		I believe that the newer version of OpenServer has a
MUCH better PPP setup tool that the 5.0.2 version that I have.

				Apologies for using such a name on this
mailing list, but does anyone
				happen to know where SCO Unix can be
obtained in Perth?  I remember a
				few years back they were giving away
copies to students and enthusiasts
				for the price of the media... does
anyone know if that's still the case?

				Regards,

me, but I won't allow them to

worth spending my life for.
