Operating Systems SCO Help! Playing with Xenix! Post 302070728 by Slaughter on Thursday 6th of April 2006 11:16:29 PM
Old 04-07-2006
Well, after many hours of continuous trial and error sessions, I have finally found a way. It may not be that fast but it works. Linux booting failed me unfortunately as even though linux claims to support Xenix, it really doesn't. But what I finally got to work was to load C-Kermit on Xenix and send the files via RS-232 to my windows machine using HyperTerminal on it's end. Tar and compress my files on the Xenix and send them over. Thanks for all the ideas!
