[ale] OT: SCO help needed

I've not actually done this myself on SCO, but when ever I have to
change anything IP address related I use the "netconfig" command. This
is where the IP address is changed for SCO, as well as the subnet mask.
It might be where aliases are added also. Try this website -
http://stage.caldera.com/ta/  This is SCO Techincal articles search
center. From a quick look there, it seems that the " -alias" switch is
the "remove this alias" switch.  The Technical Article number is 105779.

Hope this helps.
