ISC uses, or least did so prior to 2.2, their own home-grown TCP/IP, whereas
SCO uses Lachman (the basis for what's now in V.4 as well). The irony of it is
that ISC now owns Lachman and has done so for about a year. IMHO Lachman is
vastly superior to what ISC has(had?).
I guess that's what merger mania creates, strange bedfellows :-) :-)
