I've run SCO for about 5 years. I've put up with a lack of
development system, limited networking, limited GUI availability, and
difficult customer service people. I've rarely had trouble with it, but
every time I ask for help it's like I have to show a birth certificate.
Now I'm starting an ISP. A very _small_ ISP. The webservice portion
is being run on a more expensive machine, and I'm handling the Email by
way of SCO and it's UUCP.
Some pointed questions:
1. Doesn't BSD have UUCP? Taylor or HDB? (Please don't say both...)
2. Does it come with all the networking?
3. How about PPP connections?
I think it's time for a change...and BSD might just be it.
