The Orca script will run fine there.  Older version of orcallator.se will 
definitely run and you may want to try newer versions.  The hard part is getting 
an older version of the SE toolkit.  Even at

http://www.setoolkit.com/

they don't list support for 2.5.1.

The oldest SE I have is RICHPse-3.2.tar.gz which has support as far back as 
Solaris 2.6.  I think you'll have to ask around for an older copy of SE.

Yes, you could do this.  However, getting hold of an older SE would be easier.

Best,
