     Here's an awk text-to-Morse translator that will work on SCO consoles...

# Morse to ascii translator
# John H. DuBois III    11/90
# Written for XENIX console; depends on SYSV tty modes (cr2)
# and SCO ANSI set-beep-length escape code
# Stuck at max ~8 wpm by shortest console beep & length of cr2 delay

# save tty mode so it can be reset
ttymode=`stty -g < /dev/tty`
# reset tty mode if program aborted
trap "stty $ttymode < /dev/tty" INT QUIT
# set cr2 so that cr delays can be used for timing
stty cr2 < /dev/tty
# set bell to 1/(1487*840.3ns) Hz (800 Hz), 100 mS duration
# note: bell is *not* reset at end of script, 
# since there's no way to tell what it was set to from a script
echo -n "\033[=1487;1B"
