Greg, I have everything running here under Server 2008 Enterprise 32-bit 
without any issues that I can tell of so far.

Even have Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.x, Small Business Edition, 
running on the same box as I've had bad virus attacks in the past that 
have destroyed ENTIRE systems to the point of reinstall.  Knock on wood, I 
install that and have not had any issues.  SEP seems to block out unwanted 
SVCHOST.EXE traffic without any problem and without affecting the BBS 
operations.
