The output from stty in SCO Unix shows its kernel has job control hooks.
I was told by someone from SCO development that in  SCO Unix 3.2.2
(not out yet) it will actually work !

Caveat: you will have to have ksh sources or use BASH, because
SCO does not supply a shell with job control.

But the again, you might as well wait for ISC 386/ix 2.2, which also
will have job control and is rumoured to be released in January.
