How easy would it be to implement this sort of Internet access under
Free OSR 5.0.4?

Offline e-mail and news
FTP server
WWW server
Making my system telnettable

Here local phone calls cost $, so offline is good, online is bad :)
I'd like to make my system telnettable, how easy would that be?

I've ordered Free SCO 5.0.4 on Saturday. I faxed the order form to
Edinburgh - how long realistically does it take to dispatch the product?
It says 28 days, but I'm sure it could be done quicker :)

That depends on your experience, I found it wasn't hard to do.

Can be done, just have a look at my server.

Well, if your WWW and FTP server should be public acessable it has
to be online somehow. Or is it just for your Intranet?

That is very easy, after you got the networking up anyone on the
network can telnet into the machine. A greater problem is to deny
that to some.

It sure can be done quicker, hop onto the next flight to CA and visit
the SCO shop, I can imagine you can buy the Free OS5 CD-ROM there ;-)

Apparently, Bela says that the OSR licence is an unlimited demo. So,
SCO, why not let your resellers sell SCO for the cost of the media, and
then let them use Free licences from the Web?

(i.e. ship the packages w/o licence information)

Now, for a CD-ROM that works with SCO..
Anyone tried the Mitsumi FX400?
