Interesting. I tried out linux-abi (or maybe it was the linux 2.2 iBCS 
code) and found that it didn't want to execute the system binaries at 
all. It'd run SCO OpenServer binaries, but not Xenix ones. I'll have to 
take another look. In the end, though, OpenServer is the least of our 
worries here (frighteningly).

Seriously? Our OpenServer is an Enterprise install of 5.0.5, and it has 
TCP/IP built-in. Perhaps they got a more basic version of OpenServer 
than we did. The TCP/IP seems to be in listed under 'SCO OpenServer 
Enterprise System->SCO OpenServer Enterprise System Connectivity->SCO 
TCP/IP' in custom.

I love the way I can fire up custom, scoadmin, etc on my linux box over 
remote X. If it'll still talk to OpenServer, then it's pretty 
impressively backward compatable.
