Hello, Mark.

Good to hear!  I am running OS/2 Warp 4.52 on a Dell Dimension 4550
(2.0gHz/P4, 2GB RAM, 400GB total physical storage).  My board is running
Maximus/2 v3.01 and all of my "support" software, except for one
package, is OS/2 native.  I write DOS doors primarily but I have been
pondering trying to write OS/2 native doors for myself...just because I
can.

I've not had good experiences with VMs but I think it's from a lack of
experience using them.  I really have no reason to use a VM for the BBS
myself but it's interesting to hear that you've been so successful with
that and especially with eCS since OS/2-eCS can be notoriously picky about
hardware. :)

Later,
Sean
