I'm using VP/ix 1.1, which includes DOS 3.3.  At least on my Wyse
3216, it still has the keyboard buffering problem.  I am also
limited (using the WY-995 serial card) to running all my
terminals at 9600 bps, whether or not the terminal in question is
running VP/ix.   Another annoyance.  As I have heard that SCO is
abandoning VP/ix for DOSmerge in future releases, don't expect
either of these things to be fixed anytime soon.
