Well, I know how well OS/2 Warp 3 and 4 ran for me as an internet server for 
a year, and it was telnetable from my work desk, although I didn't try 
opening it up via vmodem for the public. I think Arthur Stark down in Texas 
has this running, and I know Bob Juge does. As far as a BBS ready for the WEB 
goes, I have seen nothing fully OS/2 that'll do that yet right out of the 
box. I keep hoping though. Its a damn shame, with all the need and desire for 
a WEB based BBS system and the internet capabilities OS/2, we can't find any 
programmer out there writing such code. I think I saw a win based one called 
winserver, but nothing yet for OS/2.
Adios for now,
