First of all... you need to stay away from internal modems when using SCO Openserver Unix. Internal modems can cause spurreous (sp) interrupts on the bus. Your BEST bet is to purchase an external modem and hang off the serial port that's built in to your notebook computer.


Secondly.. there is no "Hyperterminal" application such that of Windows 95/98 etc.. for SCO Openserver. I assume you are trying to dial out and connect to a remote host? Research uucp and cu. The other option is to purchase a 3rd party communications application such as Blast, MLink, or Term for SCO Openserver unix.

Lastly, there is a product from SCO that will allow you to run DOS/Windows based applications from within Unix.... SCO MERGE.... however.. it is very resource heavy.. LOTS Of RAM..etc... and I am not sure if it's available any longer. I would simply setup a dual boot system with SCO Openserver and Windows on the same drive.. and boot the OS I needed. I guess the only problem in doing so would be that if you were using the SCO box for multi-user apps, you would lose that functioanlity while you were booted to the Windows partition.


SCO's web site is www.sco.com Caldera bought SCO out, but support and service is still available.

Let me know what you are wanting to do with dialing out and I can give you more help in that area.

mkfs.bfs

MKFS.BFS(8)						Linux System Administrator's Manual					       MKFS.BFS(8)

NAME

       mkfs.bfs - make an SCO bfs filesystem

SYNOPSIS

       mkfs.bfs [-N nr-of-inodes] [-V volume-name] [-F fsname] device [size-in-blocks]

DESCRIPTION

       mkfs.bfs creates an SCO bfs file-system on a block device (usually a disk partition or a file accessed via the loop device).

       The  size-in-blocks  parameter  is  the	desired size of the file system, in blocks.  If nothing is specified, the entire partition will be
       used.

OPTIONS

       -N     Specify the desired number of inodes (at most 512).  If nothing is specified some default number	in  the  range	48-512	is  picked
	      depending on the size of the partition.

       -V volume-label
	      Specify the volume label. I have no idea if/where this is used.

       -F fsname
	      Specify the fsname. I have no idea if/where this is used.

       -v     Be verbose.

EXIT CODES

       The exit code returned by mkfs.bfs is 0 when all went well, and 1 when something went wrong.

SEE ALSO

       mkfs(8).

AVAILABILITY

       The mkfs.bfs command is part of the util-linux package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.
