Scan codes are optional (settable with stty for scan-code terminals). In
Ascii-mode the function keys send escape sequences. F1 sends ESC[M,
shift-F1 sends ESC[Y etc. Screen handling is PC-Ansi/vt100-like, except for
scrolling, coloring, special things like 'send-screen-to-host'.

SCO ansi can be used via the serial driver as well, by using the 'ansi'
termcap/terminfo entries. Quite a few terminal-emulation packages have a
sco-ansi option now (James River's Ice-ten, for example), which makes it
the emulation of choice with these programs.
