Yes, I'm looking at it now, and it's not ported to SCO and there are
several things that look like they'd be some work to port. I'll say it
again, when I bought the Portmaster (quite some time ago) I was told
that SCO support was forthcoming. Now the response is "to damned bad".
I like the product, but is SCO that rare a platform that you can't
support it? I don't think so.

C'mon Carl, get your folks with it. You've got some good but frustrated
customers out there who would like some help.
