Just FYI - No, it doesn't. The clueless people who wrote the SCO manual
just _said_ it had to be on a different network.
I had SCO's PPP running on our SCO box just fine, with the SCO side of the
network being the same IP as the SCO side of the Ethernet network.
I.e.:
scohost$ netstat -i
Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Collis
e3E0 1500 128.128.1 scohost 12660251 772034 14340665 1680 0
lo0 8232 loopback localhost 419371 0 419371 0 0
ppp0 1500 128.128.1 scohost ....etc....
What _is_ important is to have a proxy ARP entry on scohost so that IP
traffic in your local network can get _back_ to the PPP host.
However, I didn't like SCO PPP anyway, and upgraded to Morningstar PPP,
which worked MUCH better. We used that for about a year and a half before
getting our PM, which handles it better, still! :-)
