It sounds great having a Vmark-competitor around for a Pick/uniVerse compatible system (and just about for every major hardware/software-system). I like the idea of being part of a testing group for jBase, but don't quite understand why you should change your existing sco+uniVerse-configuration to FreeBSD+jBase. I too run both systems (sco+uv at work and FreeBSD for perly things at home), and even though a Pick-port to FreeBSD sounds just perfect, I don't understand why you would want to pay the $440 per connection or user for it... Why not stay with your existing sco+uv config if that seems to run ok (it does for me)?
