K95's Linux terminal emulation is fine; it supports box drawings and
color; I assume you have K95's terminal type set to Linux. So the
question is whether your application sending the right stuff. Does it
rely on termcap/terminfo/curses? If so, maybe there is some confusion
over the names of the fields or the syntax of their values.
It's also possible that you've chosen a terminal character set in K95
that does not agree with what the application thinks you have.
I've copied the SCO newsgroup on this reply -- I expect others there
have done similar conversions and can offer some hints. Also the
terminals newsgroup, where people who know termcap/terminfo/[n]curses
hang out.
