Sorry if this is off-topic, but you might also look at ORBacus. I think it
was based on OmniORB originally, but is being commercially developed.
Their prices are reasonable, and they license it for free for
non-commecial uses. The Java ORB works fine on Java 1.1.7 on linux.
We've been using it with great success for about 4 months now.
