Some other ideas... Serenity Virtual Station (http://www.serenityvirtual.com/) which claims to run on FreeBSD. I haven't yet tried it. VirtualBox (http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/VirtualBox) looks promising as another open-source alternative which runs (as host) on Windows, Linux and soon Mac OS X... could FreeBSD be far behind? -- Some days it's just not worth chewing through the restraints...
