Sounds like Progress :-)

Save a few glitches (clients looping randomly at some point, and problems
using sockets for db access between broker and clients) that BSDI is currently
looking into, version 7.3C13 works like a charm. This is software meant to be
run on SCO 3.2v4.x. There's no support for SCO5 binaries (yet).
BSDI's support is great! If only Progress would do a BSD/OS port...
Cheers,
Jos
