8 character site name fix for SCO UNIX??

I recently bit the bullet & upgraded to SCO UNIX (386)  from my old
SCO Xenix (286).  My current major problem is that SCO UNIX uses 7 character
site names as an apparent maximum, and my site name is, and has been
8 characters.  Under the old SCO Xenix (2.2.3), I was running a patched
uucico, so that other sites would see me as the full 8 character site
name, however the structure of the UNIX version of uucico is sufficiently
different that I can't figure where to patch it, and I probably need to
patch a couple of other programs as well.  

So my first question is:  Can anyone tell be what to do to make SCO UNIX
use my full 8 character site name?

Question #2	The supplied drivers for the IRWIN Mini-cassette, don't
		seem to work with my IRWIN drive.  Under SCO XENIX, I was
		using the patched drivers from sosco, and it worked fine.  
		So can anyone point me at the patches/ or a procedure to get the
		irwin drivers to work with my poor old IRWIN Mini-cassette
		20M tape drive, under SCO UNIX 3.2 A?
		
		Thanks in advance for any information you can give me.
		
		Please respond directly to me, at luce.wbst at xerox.com,
		since until I get this sorted out, my home site is
		unavailable for exchanging/reading news.
