absolutely! my entire main server still runs OS/2... up until a year or two
ago, it was running on Warp 3 Connect but now it is on eCS...

my original frontdoor/fastecho/remoteaccess multinode system is one of the
jobs that my main server has... along with apache, ftpserv, weasel for web,
ftp and email... there's also binkd, a jamnntpd server and at least 10 AI
controllers for my tradewars 2000 v3 gold games ;)

as for "useless" that depends on what one wants or needs to do...
as a multitasking OS it works very well for native OS/2 apps and DOS
apps... browsing the internet and stuff like that? i'd rather use another
system simply because of the possible dangers one might run into... i'd
rather reload a workstation than a server, ya know? ;)
