I recently bit the bullet & upgraded to SCO UNIX (386) from my old
SCO Xenix (286). My current major problem is that SCO UNIX uses 7 character
site names as an apparent maximum, and my site name is, and has been
8 characters. Under the old SCO Xenix (2.2.3), I was running a patched
uucico, so that other sites would see me as the full 8 character site
name, however the structure of the UNIX version of uucico is sufficiently
different that I can't figure where to patch it, and I probably need to
patch a couple of other programs as well.
So my first question is: Can anyone tell be what to do to make SCO UNIX
use my full 8 character site name?
Question #2 The supplied drivers for the IRWIN Mini-cassette, don't
seem to work with my IRWIN drive. Under SCO XENIX, I was
using the patched drivers from sosco, and it worked fine.
So can anyone point me at the patches/ or a procedure to get the
irwin drivers to work with my poor old IRWIN Mini-cassette
20M tape drive, under SCO UNIX 3.2 A?
Thanks in advance for any information you can give me.
Please respond directly to me, at luce.wbst at xerox.com,
since until I get this sorted out, my home site is
unavailable for exchanging/reading news.
