Well, they both need to be connected to a hub, of course.
But other than that it should be plug 'n play.

I have a client with SCO, HP and Sun on the same network.

His only problem was NFS mounts to Open Desktop 2.0 from the
HP (running HP-UX 9.0x).

His new machine runs Open Server 3.0 and handles NFS mounts
to/from the HP with no problems at all.

Dear Gurus:

We have a 486DX2 SCO Unix box at the office. We just got a new
HP-9000 machine running HP-UX. Question is can we connect the
two together ? I mean we got a 3com ethernet card inside the
SCO box right now. And I believe a comparable ethernet card in
the HP-9000 machine. The other day we try to connect the two
machine together with a 10baseT cable, but it didn't work.

Does anyone have any experience in this area ? What do we have
to do to get the two machines to talk to each other ? Like do
we need to have a hub (concentrator) to connect the two 10BaseT
ethernet cards ? I would appreciate if someone can provide a
step by step guide for doing this.

Thanks in advance,
Son Nguyen

I also would benefit from the sage advice of those who have boldly gone before.

TIA too!

We connect these systems all of the time, in fact, we sell
them (HPs and SCO workstations). Get a hub to connect
the two 10BaseT cards, or use thin ethernet.

You will need a hub or a cross-over cable. To build a cross-over cable on
a 10BaseT system you need to reverse the two pairs. Hold the RJ45 connector
so that the clip is on the bottom and the pins are pointing away from you.
Pin 1 would then be on the left. On one end of the cable (not both),
reverse the pairs 1 & 2 and 3 & 6. It should work fine for you then.

6 ---------- 2
.
.
3 ---------- 1
2 ---------- 6
1 -----------3

P.S. Make sure that your cable is 24 awg, solid, unshielded-twisted pair.
