The console is not a VT100; it's an (almost) ANSI.  Actually, as far as I
know, it's a superset of an ANSI terminal, including 25 lines (instead of
24), color, and a few other things.

I would suggest you snag the termcap and terminfo (if appropriate) entries
from the SCO system, and install them on the target system (possibly as
'scoansi' instead of ansi).
