If you want to use UUCP, there are two programs named "smail" and "pathalias" that are used for these sorts of things. They are available from many of the archive sites such as j.cc.purdue.edu if I recall correctly. To perform the later, you will need SCO steams (lists for $95) and SCO TCP/IP runtime (lists for $595). This includes ftp/telnet/ftpd/telnetd,smtp mail (rfc822), r-utilities, etc. One word of warning is that the back on 27-May-1989 the TCP/IP was in a controlled release with a known sendmail bug where they would automatically send an update as soon as it was fixed. I assume it has already been fixed. Also, SCO's TCP/IP is available only for 386 with no plans for 286. I believe you can achieve the same functionality with even better performance by using the Excelan intelligent ethernet board and software that can be purchased as a kit, but it probably costs a little more. The SCO TCP/IP works with only non-intelligent ethernet boards, namely the 3com 3c501 and Western Digital WD8003 Etherlink+. ray curci curci@vsserv.scri.fsu.edu
