Hello Kenneth.

I ran/run some DOS BBS Aps in dos boxes... and there are really no problems
with them.  Swap out the modems... take out the creative labs on and put in
the one that's on the 486 and see what happens....

The simpole fact that the system/BBS/Whatever seems to lockup when a user
trys to connect seems to say something.  I think it's the modem... some of
the new modems were designed to work with windows aplications AND NOT
DOS...
