I am relatively new at SCO Unix, but decently skilled at Solaris, so I'm
sorry if this a really dumb question. I am running SCO 5.0.5 3.2 on an
Acer Altos. The machine is the last one to be using BNC, and we want to
get it onto our Ethernet network. The network card appears to be (found
via System Administration / Network / Network Card Configuration on the
SCO gui) AMD PCNET-PCI/RACAL InterLAN PCI T2 PCI Bus# 0, Device# 8,
Function# 0. I attempted (in the advanced setting box) to set "Force
10baseT" to 1, then relinked the kernel, so that it would use the
ethernet portion of that card. I rebooted, and the ethernet link doesn't
even show an indicator light. Can anyone help me solve this problem?

This is a combo card then? I usually have to run a dos utility to tell
the card (I'm not familiar with your card...) to use 10baseT. Autodetect
never works for me.

Punt. get a transceiver.

Punt. get a new card.
