Dan,

I use Frontpage extensions with 2.1.5-RELEASE on a daily basis, and so do
my users.
Download the one for BSDI 2.x and you're on your way. Believe me,
FreeBSD *is* a supported OS ... ;-)
There is _one_ problem though. Frontpage uses a different password
encryption scheme to generate its passwords. The password you use for
the Frontpage "admin" (generated on the PC you're using and then saved to
the /data dir of the web site).
The fix for this is simple. Just use a password for the Frontpage admin
that you used for the webmaster (or another user). Then cut-and-paste
that password into the following file (replacing the old encrypted
password). This is where mine lives, anyway (once inside the /data dir,
all will be the same):
/usr/local/www/data/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
Good luck.
