I have the latest curl compiled for sco with ssl 
(http://www.aljex.com/bkw/sco/#curl)

kermit has always been available in not just one but several different 
variations of precompiled binary for sco right from the columbia ftp site.

There is such a thing as wput. I'll look into it sometime tuesday-ish and 
see if I can build it.
