You don't want Xenix-Net, you want SCO TCP/IP, available for Xenix 2.3 and
SCO Unix 3.2. Xenix-Net is netbios-based networking and just dandy
for talking to other Xenix boxes, DOS boxes running IBM PC Networking
and maybe TCP/IP boxes IF you are running it on top of TCP/IP. Since
all you want is TCP/IP, Xenix-Net is an unnecessary addition.
