But I belive SCO Unix 3.2v4.2 supports IPX/SPX and we worked with it, but now we are using TCP/IP on all workstations because it's faster. And another reason to use TCP/IP was that you can't configure more than one network card usnig IPX/SPX (you can, but routing between card's is not working correctly). Our oracle RDBMS is V 7.0.16.4.0 and SQL*NET SPX (V1) is 1.2.7.9.1
