While I can offer general help with any Unix/Linux problem, my most specific knowledge will be in SCO OSR5 and Red Hat Linux.

I probably cannot help you with SCO Xenix! I used to do a lot of Xenix, but that was a long time ago and I have forgotten most of it. I don't do an awful lot with Unixware either, so it's best to send email first. In fact, it's almost always best to send email first.

The best way to get answers is to use Keen Mail. The link for that is right above these words, to the right (I wish they'd make that easier to see).

I charge $ 15.00 or less for brief, specific questions, $ 30.00 and up for more detailed correspondence, and of course nothing at all if I cannot help you.

You are under no obligation to pay anything at any time If the answer was satisfactory and you feel it was worth what I asked, then of course you should pay it. If not, please don't. Either come back and explain why it didn't help or just let it drop - your choice.

The above only applies to email correspondence - if you choose the phone options, you pay by the minute, period and there is no choice about how much you pay.

For example, if your question only requires a quick link pointing you to somewhere else, it might only cost $6.00. Or, if I need more information, or feel I can't help you at all, my reply will cost you nothing (be sure to check back - Keen does NOT notify you of mail unless it has a charge associated with it).

You are always in control of whether or not you accept charges for a reply.

I also have some pre-recorded help.

Mail is usually the least expensive and most efficient way to get answers- I strongly encourage you to use it.

If you want to talk to me personally, I charge by the minute. It's not a bad idea to send email first describing what you want to talk about- if it's something I don't feel I can help you with, or if I need to schedule a specific time for the conversation, it won't cost you to find that out.
