telnet to SCO 5.0.6 as vmware guest - network blues

I'll bet I've got 10 hours tinkering trying to get my SCO vmware guest
to accept telnet connections.

Using vmware NAT option:
vm server 192.168.160.15
virtual NAT setup
SCO guest = 172.16.62.128
virt gateway= 172.16.62.2
server virt = 172.16.62.1

All outbound from SCO works great. I can access the internet from SCO
guest. I can telnet to SCO from the vmware-server host OK, just
'telnet 172.16.62.128'. But I cannot telnet from any other host on the
LAN.

I cannot find some vmware docs that explain how to access telnet on a
guest. Remote hosts can ping 172.16.62.1 OK, but not 172.16.62.128
(SCO). It could be I need to use a special port, but I don't know what
that is.

There are no vmware tools for SCO, because SCO is unsupported and not
mentioned on the vmware website. I guess fallout from the SCO lawsuit:
everybody hates SCO and drops support.

I think I am so close, maybe another 24 hours of experimenting and
I'll have it:)

Has anyone else managed to telnet into an SCO guest on VMWare?

Other than that, it is going very well, SCO apps are fast.
