I don't run SCO, I run FreeBSD.

Frankly, I think the kernel support for this has got to be horrific
and not something that could be easily wedged into an ABI module.

The networking is pretty trivial; you pretend the machine is yourself
(transparent proxy), or you pretend it's on a routed subnet and you
are the router.  Trapping the net API to kernel space to get this is
easy (Linux does it for IPX in their DOS emulator).

The trapping to the host kernel is easy.  It's the "emulating the
rest of a 384/486/586 in the traps" that's the hard part.
