I have all three -- but for aix.  I'm in the process of bringing up my 
FreeBSD box.  As soon as I get a few (major) problems worked out, I plan 
on moving all of my c++ stuff to it an make it work there.  I have a 
class which maintains message sueues, a class which maintains semaphores, 
a shared memory class, and a socket class.  When they are up, I will post 
them on my home page.

I also plan on getting some of my stuff working with pthreads.  Ive read 
some messages about how they work with FreeBSD, but since I don't have my 
stuff loaded on as of yet, I haven't been abot to test them.
