Just to let you believe there may be other tcp/ip sources, I'm running 
Interlan's NP621-386 package on SCO Xenix SVr2.3.2, and it mostly works OK. 
There are two features that "bug" me -- rsh is renamed rshl and rcp is 
renamed rcpy (these are due to a name conflict in the Xenix mail (Micnet?) 
stuff). The Telnetd seems to be buggy in that it seems to cook everything. I 
can't find a way to force a raw and talking though my dealer to Inteerlan 
doesn't produce any result beyond "the price of an upgrade package is $xxx". 
The telentd thing is a nuissance; for example ^S and ^Q get translated to 
the literal chars that I just typed. So xon/xoff is disabled in a nasty way. 
I tend to use rlogin when I can since it (rlogind) works better. Keep 
looking tho. I believe source is available (like from Gnu) for many tcp/ip 
utilities. Hope this helps.
