You can enable networking on your SCO® system by creating ``network interfaces'' consisting of configured network adapters or serial drivers with protocol stacks and networking applications. The Network Configuration Manager provides a convenient, interactive way to add, modify, view, and remove network interface configurations.

To configure network interfaces, you must configure:

hardware
Set up your adapter to work with your computer's hardware using utilities supplied with your computer, networking adapters, and SCO OpenServer system.

drivers
Configure an SCO network driver to work with your adapter.

protocols
Configure an SCO protocol stack or serial protocol to enable communication with remote systems.
For information about configuring network interfaces from the command line or in scripts, see the netconfig(ADM) manual page.

New and modified network adapter drivers are made available periodically; see ``Accessing the SCO Compatible Hardware Web Pages'' in the SCO OpenServer Handbook. For the new network features and drivers included with this SCO OpenServer release, see SCO OpenServer Features and Limitations.
