Recently there is one program written for SCO Xenix/Unix 386 called ecu 
(I believe) posted in comp.sources.misc and is available from 
comp.sources.misc/volume16 of uunet.uu.net.  You can either ftp it or
dial in and download it.  

Yes, it is not written for ISC/ESIX/UHC/Microport..., but with these 
vendors all claiming Xenix compatibility, potential porting effort should
be either nill or bearable.  The nice thing about this ecu program is 
that it not only comes with good doc, but it also supports xmodem, kermit
ymodem(g), zmodem etc.. You name it. They are all built in unlike pocomm
you need to hook up the kermit (Sigh.. everyone should build in this) and
zmodem.

I am busy now.  As soon as I get some time, I will port it to ESIX and
I will give a short post about my impression in this group for those
interested.
