No..He's trying to run SCO FoxPro on linux by tuning the terminal 
parameters properly. He's been doing it for nearly a year and had some 
results. You could donwload the foxpro 2.5 ruintime (initially for for 
SCO) from his site and run foxpro programs in linux via the runtime. I 
think he wanted to solve the problem with mouse. Foxpro/DOS 2.5 has 
mouse support.

Never used SCO myself. Can one use a mouse with the console only in SCO? 
Or is it possible to emulate a DOS-like mouse in linux console via 
/dev/mouse? :)
