How many users? If you are running more than 5 or so users, I would
recommend getting a separate machine. Financials is failry resource
intensive and I don't think you'll be happy with a SCO solution. If
you still want to use SCO, put the application executables on one
machine and SCO on another. Use SQL*Net to talk between the
application server and the back-end server. Just make sure that the
SCO DB server box has all of the bandwidth you can give it (ie. not
ISA bus). Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
