Re: SCO problems again

Hi all, (opps, ignore the email lag)

Having only been following the thread with mild interest and purging
mail a tad quickly, please disregard anything I mention that is in
anyway not pure genius.

Floppys! Don't do it man, you will never forgive yourself.
In one move you will regress the computer support industry a decade.
There has to be a better way...

If the SCO machine has a working RS232 port then how about,
SLIP, PPP, even X-modem, Y-modem, Z-modem, Kermit or Miss Piggy.
Anything but floppys.
