No, when I was testing NetSerial, my goal was to no longer use my OS/2 VM. 
My biggest problems with OS/2 at the time was getting it to not crash when
I had moved my BBS data from OS/2, to my W2K8 server.  I was getting JFS
trap abends.  Long story short, I moved the data back to OS/2, stopped the
remote map, and not map from the W2K8 to the OS/2 VM using Samba shares. 
Doing it that way doesn't cause random crashes, and works.

I use VMODEM and SIO drivers on my OS/2 VM now.  I have used those almost
since the day Raymond Gwinn released them..  :)  It works solid as a rock. 
I just was looking at potential ways to not use OS/2.  My BBS however
doesn't like running in Windows XP, so I'm keeping OS/2.  The only thing
that runs the BBS better as far as compatibility with doors, etc, is
DOSBOX.  It runs all my doors with no problem.  Too bad I can't use it
under OS/2 somehow.
