Ok, thanks for that information, which certainly wasn't obvious.
So now if I type uname -X, I get:

System = jpradley
Node = jpradley
Release = 3.2v2.0
KernelID = 90/06/10
Machine = i80386
BusType = AT
Serial = sco006664
Users = unlim
OEM# = 0
Origin# = 1
NumCPU = 1

Meanwhile my 'vi' is still broken.
