This bit of info may or may not be of much use to you since you said you
already purchased SCO, but particularly for those out there owning PS/2's
I would take a hard look at AIX PS/2. It has TCP/IP with the driver for
the Ungerman Bass card, (or token ring for those that care) I don't think
we yet have a 3com driver but believe we soon may. It also has real BSD
job control (if you've never used it you don't know what you're missing)
and symbolic links. And if you have an 8514 video adapter and monitor
X windows is dynamite. Also, cost is fully competitive with vendors like
SCO and Interactive.

I know, I know this must be sounding like an advertisement considering my
signature but I am quite serious. I would run AIX on turnkey but it is not
a PS/2. Anybody who is even slightly biased to the BSD environment should run
to their local Businessland and see a demo. The only more fully BSD based
Unix for the 386 is Sun.

Naturally, standard Disclaimers apply.
