This is from memory of a few years ago when Coherent was moved from
sgtty to termio:

If iBCS2 compatibility is a consideration, there may still be SCO apps
out there which expect the V7 calls.  I suspect a fair number of them
will never be recompiled.

There are a dozen or so SCO-specific extensions to the standard iBCS2
system call table - including as I recall stty and gtty.
