SCO OpenServer systems

The SCO OpenServer family includes three operating systems, a general-purpose Internet server, and a single, combined development system. For more information on the latter, see the documentation provided with the SCO OpenServer Development System.

Host System
This product is designed for low-cost, turnkey solutions and mission-critical applications that require a central application host and do not require networking.

The Host System also contains the SCO Advanced File and Print Server, which provides NetBEUI networking for native Microsoft Windows file and print connections.

As such, it is the most powerful and versatile server in the product line.
