Normally, I would agree here, but I cannot see this client spending
25K USD just because thats what the local VAR for this particular
software wants - and thats just the "COBOL" runtime and moving
  the applications over.

Anyway, I say "Bring 'em on!!!". The solution here is, no less, a
COL 1.3 OpenLinux. It has the iBcs, but has new enuff stuff to
be usable, but old enuff to be outta their (SCO's) IP loop.
