caldera.com doesn't have an MX record whereas sco.com does, so maybe it's 
a problem with that old domain.  Try Dave Prosser <dfp@sco.com> directly - 
he allocated the last e_machine value we registered in Jan 2007, and was 
still at SCO (posting to the WG14 reflector from that address) as of Feb 
2008.

Unfortunately the public table at 
<http://www.sco.com/developers/gabi/latest/ch4.eheader.html> is very out 
of date - it goes up to 110 and the last value we got was 165 - so someone 
else can't just take over where SCO left off without SCO internal 
information, or guessing and leaving a large gap and hoping there isn't 
too much duplication.
