Xenix, Merit, KA9Q, 80286, getting them all to work together?

I recently downloaded a copy of KA9Q's Net utility. It is a version of
TCP/IP designed to work with ham radio and apparently is being used in
other places on the network.
I am running SCO Xenix 386 2.2.3, as well as SCO Xenix 286 2.2.1.
I would like to see if I can get this utility up and running in some
way on one of my machines. (Preferably the 286). I hacked the
makefile using a Xenix diff file from "conexch" in southern California
(A good Xenix public access system).
All of the routines compile using the makefile designed for Unix with the
appropriate patches, however I get an error with a few unresolved externals
in the final link. These include procedures from slfp.c, pc.c, and maybe
a few other modules in the package. It appears that the makefile doesn't
include these at all as they use non-unix structures etc? I am not really
sure.
At this point has anyone used this package with (1. Xenix, 2. Merit/Telenet,
3. an 80286 machine)?
If anyone could give me any help, it would be appreciated. -- Here is a
little background on why I'd like to get it working.
1. My ham ticket is probably in the mail this very minute (Passed the tech
liscense in early April).
2. I currently get my newsfeed from sharkey (University of Michigan) via
the merit network (X.25 protocol packet switched network that supports TELNET)
I noticed that in the slfp.c file, the Merit network is mentioned specifically.
Since I use it regularly, I'd like to find a better/more reliable way to
get information if I could.
Any help is appreciated.
