I am running an old Pentium 90 system with OS/2 Warp 3.0 and Vmodem for 
a BBS machine.  It offers inbound telnet.  This runs against my file 
server, Windows 2000 Server, where all of the mail tossing and files are 
kept.  I've ben runnign this for around 13 years or so.  I run Cam Gold, 
QMail4 and a few other doors that nobody uses.
