Get SCO V.2.2, they've *finally* put the buffers in a far data structure.
I honestly don't know what version of SCO IBM Xenix is. On my old sco system I had about 195 bugffers
(no word wrap, grr) I had about 195 buffers. under SCO 2.2 I'm pushing 300+
Buffers are wunderfull. I believe, that the SCO will go as high as you like, 
...... Try this command: configure. If that doesn't work, you've obviously
boaught the wrong Xenix....
