hi -- Willow Software (www.willows.com) has a Windows emulator that is
reportedly pretty good, that runs on many UNIX platforms.  it's good enough
that one person reported (to me) running sol.exe on an Alpha running Linux,
and another reported running "most of Microsoft Office" under Linux.  it
apparently supports serial ports, and the winsock interface -- i don't know
how well.

unfortunately, FreeBSD is not among their "native" ports -- at least not
among the ones they list.

they do claim to run under both Linux and SCO.  has anyone tried to run it
in non-native-emulation mode on FreeBSD?

(oh -- btw, for non-commercial use, it's apparently free...)
