I've been pleasantly surprised by SCO NFS, it's not the > fastest, but it seems fairly robust, and TCP/IP works as expected. I don't know the state of SCO NFS (and TCP/IP in general) today, but when we got an SCO box a few years ago (needed for one particular project), it was horrible. Only 64 K inodes on the SCO box, so the inodes on the NFS file systems from our Suns and HPs were taken modulo 65536. Great fun. And the SCO TCP/IP/NS couldn't handle standard 8 kByte NFS reads/writes, so we had to turn it down to 1 kByte. I was extremely underwhelmed by SCO, and would never voluntarily use it.
