- Actually, I believe SCO has done this with their software, which is available
- via ftp from uunet (or at least it was)..

- I installed the 2.2 tape maybe 2 weeks ago. I didn't install framemaker
- (I am low on disk space on root) or TeX. I've been told that once I played
- with framemaker I would want it -- and framemaker is quite costly.
-
- 2.2 has been running (and running) here. I removed the extra drivers
- bringing my kernel down to 1.5 megabytes -- and now sar shows memory usage
- running from 1100-1900 pages free depending on the time of day.
-
- I also (yesterday) bumped my serial ports on the WorldBlazers from 38400
- to 56700 baud. With the Digiboard CX drivers, 50 baud becomes 56700, 75
- becomes 76kbaud, etc. It looks rather strange to have the 50 baud in the
- gettydefs (I have the modems locked at 56700).. So far, no problems.
- Throughput still runs from 1400-2100 for TurboPEP -- but to the best of my
- knowledge, none of the machines I connect with have their WB modems locked
- at high DTE speeds and have the horsepower to support it.
