However, all of our other servers are running FreeBSD, and we would LOVE it if PROGRESS would release a version for FreeBSD. There _is_ a BSDI version, call and see if you can get a FreeBSD-native version. Question I have never had answered: you can run BSDI binaries in FreeBSD, is this native or is it pseudo-emulation, i.e. are you better off getting FreeBSD-native binaries, or does it really matter? -Brandon Gillespie
