Peter,

UnixWare 2.1.3 is VERY old (12+ years) and no longer supported.
If I remember correctly it used NFS V2.

SCO do offer trade-ins to UnixWare 7.1.4 for customers running
UnixWare 2.1.3.

AFAIK first release of UnixWare was in early 1993?

On your UW box, type
rpcinfo -p | grep nfs

The result should contain something like

100003 2 udp nfs
100003 3 udp nfs
100003 2 tcp nfs
100003 3 tcp nfs

or a subset thereof. The fields in the lines
denote
(1) the RPC program number for NFS (it is always this well defined
value)
(2) the RPC version number (corresponds to the NFS proctcol version
number)
(3) the network protocol
(4) the service name (nfs in this case).

Well, all NFS implementation I know of support all the
lower protocol version as well. Thus, the box you want to
connenct to *must* support NFS v2.
