I use the followin entry on my xenix system to talk to other xenix systems,
perhaps this will help:
sysname Any,2 ACU 2400 1234567 ogin:- at -ogin:- at -ogin: uucp

I have modified the /etc/gettydefs file on my system to start the cycle at
2400, then 1200, then 300 and back to 2400. Modify entry 3 to cycle 3-2-1
in yours and you shouldn't have any problem (a 'feature'/bug of SCO xenix
is that a framing error will be interpreted like a break, so sending any
character at the wrong baudrate will cause the system to cycle to the next
baudrate)

I use my own cleanup script, but the xenix command uuclean does a fair job.
