I was running 2.60 and and now 2.60XE os/2 version
and had no problems, but sometimes
there were problems with the mother board
The computer would loose its memory

I think the big problem is people expect to mutch out of Binkley
and do all the modifications at once.
I had installed Binkley and os/2 on friends BBS
and within a week it would not run any more
because he was tingkering all the time
and did not understand its workings
One step at a time.
The above problem seems to be modem settings.

Cheers Harry
