It's quite possible that one will run with proper SCO emulation (I recall people mentioning it in the past.) You might simply ask for that client from IBM. As far as a good answer for them; you should let them know that FreeBSD is a UNIX variant that runs on Intel ia32 hardware; and they should consider doing a native port of the ADSM client to FreeBSD. - Dave Rivers - - DAve Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
