I regularly run the Linux version of Communicator 4.07 with US encryption in 
emulation (on 2.2.7-RELEASE).  Works very nicely, although my machine tends to 
swap a bit more than it would otherwise, due to the need to keep both Linux 
and BSD libraries in memory.

One "why not" for me, anyways, is that there's no such thing as a US 
encryption release for FreeBSD, and for some work I do, that's a "must have".

(Rant on encryption politics omitted...)
