If I understand your response correctly, in order to access COM

COM runtime on the UNIX host.
Maybe. See below.
If this is true then it sound like my only option would be to port the
calculators to UNIX. I was looking to use MONO as a cross platform
bridge to allow me to get to these COM servers without having to port
them to UNIX. Are there any vendors providing COM on UNIX that your
aware of?
If you need a COM Runtime for Unix, Software AG provides one:

However, Mono doesn't provide *any* COM integration, on Windows or Unix,
so this wouldn't allow you to use Mono.
There is an alternate approach, though: Leave your COM code on Windows,
and write a .NET front-end which uses .NET COM Interop to use your COM
objects. The front-end could be an XML Web Service or a
System.Runtime.Remoting server, both of which Mono can communicate with.
Thus you'd have:
Mono/Linux -- [Network] -- .NET Web Service -- COM Component
This is likely the easiest approach, though its performance won't be
spectacular.

No we do not. There is no reliable COM implementation on UNIX to
interface with.

To whom it may concern,
I'm mostly interested in building large scale server side numerical
applications. We have a very extensive set of calculators for valuing
financial securities and computing various risk scenarios that are all
written using COM. I'm very interested in using these on LINUX. Does
Mono support the System.Runtime.InteropServices namespace?
