Hi Chris:

Had the same problem with my modem. Still having trouble. As far as the
SB card, I think this may work. Go into the COAS and the into the Kernel
Mgr. Try and load the sb module. If it fails, like mine did, reboot to
the bios and disable the "PNP Aware O/S" option in the BIOS. Then go
back into the COAS/Kernel Mgr and reload the sb Module. Reboot and open
the the CD player, you should have sound at this point. By the way,
posted below this reply is the directions for creating a sybolic link to
the cdrom so the desktop icon will work. Follow those instructions and
you should do fine. As far as the networking goes, this is relatively
easy if you follow the instructions in the Caldera Manual and have some
solid base knowledge of TCP/IP networking. The trick is to make sure the
IP addresses in the cards (Host & Clients) are on the same primary and
subnet mask. i.e. Server is set at 210.0.0.1, subnet mask 255.255.255.0,
with workgroup set to HOME. At this point make sure you edit the
smb.conf and change the Domain/Workgroup name to HOME. when you
reattatch the PC(s) to the server, you should see any shared directories
you created such as public. When you try to access the the directory be
sure you're logged into the PC as a valid Linux user and use the
password for the user that is in the Linux login. I've seen some people
have lots of trouble with the password issues and seen lots of complex
answers, re: encryption etc...but I just used the users Linux password
and it works just fine.

Keep in mind, Linux is more of a challenge than Win9x or NT. Be patient
and post questions when you need help. I'm a SCO Unix Cert & AIX/RS600
Cert and I still have trouble do Don't feel bad if it doesn't work right
out of the bucket. There's lots of horror stories that I have from SCO
installs that went bad
