Go into /etc/rc.conf and set

ibcs2_enable="YES"  # Ibcs2 (SCO) emulation loaded at startup (or NO)

Installing the applications will be tricky though since we don't have
custom.  Easiest to install on an SCO system and tar over the program
and lib files.  Which reminds me, just turning on emulation won't
do it all.  You need all the SCO shared libs your app wants to use.
