I faced it in 1995. You had to pay extra if you wanted TCP/IP. Having already experienced Linux, I found that to be a horrifying jolt.

Think about that one. In 1995, SCO was selling a UNIX clone that didn't come with TCP/IP.

Interestingly enough Linux already supported iBCS2 by 1995. So a lot of Intel SVR4 (eg. SCO) software could already be run under it by then with varying degrees of success.

Linux was a Unix clone. SCO was selling actual Unix. But yeah that seems crazy now.
