Network hardware drivers
Network hardware drivers are programs that provide a standard
way for many different ``protocol stacks'' and networking
products to communicate with the networking adapter installed in
your computer.
Included with your SCO OpenServer system are the SCO Network Adapter
Drivers, which support many available network adapters.
Because they
conform to a standard set of parameters and interfaces,
you can use a single configuration tool, the Network Configuration Manager,
to configure any or all of them.
SCO Network Adapter Drivers are available in two forms, both included in your SCO OpenServer system:
Many network adapter vendors provide SCO-compatible network adapter drivers. Most of these vendors are listed in the SCO Hardware Compatibility Handbook ; if you wish to use an adapter not listed there, contact your vendor.
Additional network adapter drivers are available via the SOSCO BBS (Bulletin Board Service) maintained by SCO Technical Support. These drivers are available for the convenience of SCO customers but are not supported by SCO. Technical information regarding the drivers is presented in the README files accompanying the drivers that are provided by the driver vendors. For more information, contact SCO Technical Support.
