Well, no...  They serve a Novell server and two SCO boxes.  The Novell
and one of the SCO machines both have two scsi cards in them, as do the
RAID boxes.  We use the disk-concatenation feature of both OS's to get
one drive, but the throughput of two F/W scsi busses.

If Micro Focus ever made a FreeBSD version of Cobol, we would use
FreeBSD, though.  We've hit the 2-gig filesize limit on SCO quite a few
times.
