Thanks for the input, Bill. It looks like the purchase of a Sun Box to run WebCT on is a longshot at best, so I'm married to trying to get it to run on my development (FreeBSD) server. I certainly agree that it's best to use the right tool for the right job, but given certain budgetary constraints, I need to get a bit creative. If it works well enough to go into production, I'm in Tall Cotton. If it just doesn't cut the mustard, I won't have lost anything but a few handfuls of hair and some time.
