There is currently no FreeBSD client.  Feel free to badger your
IBM salesdroid about getting one.

We've been using the SCO v2 client under FreeBSD 3.x and 4.x reasonably
successfully although it has a few warts.

There is a patch floating around for FreeBSD that will disable (via
sysctl) the Linux emulation drive remappings which is what is stopping the
linux client being useful.  That will cause problems if you are running
any other linux binaries on that system though.

If you want a copy of the SCO v2 stuff we're using here then email me and
I'll mail it to you. (~2Mb).


Carl.
