=I am having a problem with Xenix TCP/IP that is about to drive me crazy!
=I have SCO Xenix 2.3.3 running TCP/IP 1.0.1h.  I have a 386 DOS system that
=is ethernetted to the Xenix system using WD8003e Ethercard Plus's.  

I have the identical setup, sans 2.3.3 (I have 2.3.1).

=System V.2.3.3 XENIX (jcbmdpc.JOBSOFT.COM)

ditto.

=but the login never shows up!  As a matter of fact, *ALL* of the packages
=above except the Locus package just drop back out to the DOS prompt with
=*NO* error messages.  

I have telnetted from my PC to the Xenix box, but you have to try it around
20 times, and then it connects, but is a little flakey.

This is an acknowledged bug in TCP/IP 1.0.1h from SCO.  I posted about it
about a month and a half ago, and got 2 or 3 replies.  The seemingly
correct one is to go grab my 1.0.0 controlled release of TCP/IP, and snarf
the telnetd off it and install that.  Unfortunately, I'm down an ESDI
controller at the moment, and have not had a chance to try this.

NOTE - it only happens when gonig from a PC.  WIN/QVT, FTP Software, NCSA,
the whole shebang (I have a Unix-pC with Wollongong TCP/IP on it, and that
can log in fine).

=
=What gives?  What is in Unix (or that Unix does) that isn't in Xenix TCP/IP?

A real implementation of this system. (pseudo real, it's still not BSD)

=I have 
=also been told by sales people at SCO the TCP/IP 1.2 for Unix/Xenix will
=be out 2nd or 3rd quarter of 1991 (maybe around June/July).  I feel certain
=that that will solve my problems.  

Me too.  I have projects that have to be done, and working along a 19200
line just isn't the same.  I WANT MY MULTISCREENS!
