Try "share <directory to be shared>" on the host, and "mount host:/shared/directory /mountpoint" on the client.
An example would be to run "share /export/shared" on Host1 and then "mount Host1:/export/shared /mnt/Host1" on the client.

Both share and mount have other options you might need depending on your situation, for stuff like different file types and permissions.

Oh, and about the Samba thing, I don't know much about Samba yet but I would assume you can then use samba to share out the mounted directory just like any local one...

Use NFS to mount the SCO export on the Linux box, and then use Samba like normal to serve the mounted directory. Or you could just run Samba on the SCO server and allow both the Linux box and the Windows client to access it over SMB.
