Don't want to hassle with passing a OS/2 comm port to a DOS door or BBS,
don't want to have to change around your config, are in the process of
converting from DOS to OS/2, etc...

The main reason I chose Binkley and Maximus was so I could gradually slide
into OS/2 - switch the OS first, then the mailer, then the rest of the
software. Made it easier to switch back, too, because I'd made a point of
picking cross-platform software, and most of the software vendors I'd
chosen started making Win32 products.
