I looks like you are trying to use the NT Workstations at the remote sites to work as an IP-router. I assume you can ping both the SCO-box and any central workstation from the remote NT Workstation, but you can't ping the SCO-box from any central workstation.

There are two possible approaches:

1) I can't remember if NT Workstation supports IP-forwarding. Check the properties of your RAS connection. IF it does activate and try again. If NT does not support this, check for a program on theInternet that works as a router.

or

2) Set up a telnet-server on the remote NT workstation, let the users log into this server and than log into the SCO-box from within this telnet session.

You need to add a route on the server at the central site and one on the sco box. Similar commmands on both. Dos prompt on NT not sure on sco. you just type route add and then then ip address and gateway of where your destination ip is (don't forget to put /p at the end to make it permanent). If you do route /? on the NT box this will tell you the exact syntax, just replace the ip address for your networks.
