I got it running under 2.2.8 a few months ago, but every time I started it,
the ADSM server running on our big OS/390 mainframe abended.  This is widely
considered to be a bad thing.  (The mainframe's administrator certainly 
thought so.)  I saw a posting to one of the FreeBSD lists about a week ago
which identified the cause of the server's death as a buffer overflow
problem.  Last time I checked, IBM listed the Linux client as unsupported, so
I don't imaging they are very interested in hearing that we are having problems
running it in emulation mode.  (I am leaning on our regional support rep to
suggest a FreeBSD port.  I don't think I'm going to get very far though.)
