Thanks for the suggestion of SugarCRM. I think this may work out great for him with a couple of modules. :)

Only thing left is to figure out how to print labels/mail merge from it, but their community may have a solution.

One thing I did notice as well, the SugarCRM website has the latest version as 3.5.1, and the version ports is only 2.5.1b_1. I've got 3.5.1 running on a test server to demo to this co-worker and it's working great so far.

Thanks again.

Is your ports tree up to date ??? From a 5.4 install disk it may be a
snapshot of things at the time the 5.4 iso images were made... Ports are not dependant on the os rev level -- I'm running 4.11 and it
is in my ports tree
which I update about once a week
cd /usr/ports
make search key=sugar | grep Port
If it doesnt return Port: sugarcrm-2.5.1b_1 or so then your ports tree needs updating. mjt

I did a look on 5.4 and I do not see SugarCRM but when I went to
FreeBSD.org/ports I did see it was under DeskUtils.  Any reason I would
not have this particular?  This is free install of 5.4, not from
upgrade. All ports were installed at install.

        If I were him, I'd wait for a web-based solution from
Google or some other vendor. I think we'll see a beta within a couple of months.
