On my OSR506 box, the login banner shows like this on a telnet
session:

SCO OpenServer(TM) Release 5 (rgscodev) (ttyp1) login:

whilst on a new install of OSR6+MP1, when I telnet in I'm presented
with

SCO OpenServer(TM) Release 6 (rgsco6) () login:

Any ideas why the ttypx number is not shown in the brackets?

Just a guess here, as I've never used OSR6.

In 5.0.7, there are options to telnetd which give the administrator
limited control over what information is in the welcome banner. The
same is probably true in OSR6. Compare the telnetd lines in inetd.conf,
and check the man pages for telnetd on the two systems, and hopefully
you'll find an answer.

It's a known bug that I assume will be fixed in a future maint. pack.

What's in /etc/issue, and /etc/default/issue?

/etc/issue is blank, and /etc/default/issue contains the following
entry (comment lines snipped)

BANNER=SCO OpenServer(TM) Release %R (%h) (%t)

on OSR506:

# grep telnet /etc/inetd.conf
telnet stream tcp nowait NOLUID /etc/telnetd telnetd
#

OSR600 + MP1

# grep telnet /etc/inetd.conf
telnet stream tcp nowait NOLUID /etc/telnetd telnetd
#telnet stream tcp nowait NOLUID /etc/tcpd telnetd
#

Looks from other posts that this problem is a bug ... guess MP2 will
be hot on the tail of MP1
