What I found:
	* Frame SCO works under linux SCO emulation (iCBS module), except
	  for the rpc (network) calls.
	* So, neither fmbatch nor calls to the licence manager works.
	* So, a SCO frame version without calls to a licence manager would
	  work.

But I wasnt able to buy one. Frame French distributor - gilles@antea.fr
(Gilles Boisserand) - told me they dont sell anymore SCO versions :-(

he wrote me:

  Suite a notre conversation telephonique de ce jour,
  je vous confirme qu'a ce jour il n'existe aucune version
  FM4 sur SCO certifiee par FrameTechnology - encore moins sur linux -
  Etant donne votre determination, je suis interesse par toute info
  nouvelle sur le sujet.

(he just says that FM4 SCO doesnt exists...)

but I found this info:

  From: dboldt@usgs.gov (David Boldt)
  Newsgroups: comp.text.frame
  The reported SCO Frame problems under Linux seem to be related to
  the RPC communication between the license server and the Frame
  process.  I have been told by a Frame technical person that,

  The symptom described here might be alleviated by an
  undocumented flag:

	maker -useFMRpc

  This shunts RPC calls into FrameMaker's internal mechanism rather
  than relying on portmapper.  This was included in FMr3 to allow for
  shared licensing before SCO had a reliable portmapper.

So, try to find a Frame3 or Frame4 for SCO with the possibility of
bypassing the SCO portmapper.
