Opus runs fine on a pentium, the only problem is if you run barefoot, you 
have to put tons of modem pauses in your init string and dial strings in 
OPUS.CTL, otherwise things happen so fast OPUS can't keep up.  (for example, 
if you don't put pause characters in your dial string, OPUS comes back with a 
no dial tone message when you try to call out for mail or whatever - because 
the modem goes off hook and on hook so fast, OPUS can;t see it.  Another 
problem is that
you can't send init string commands to the modem from OPUS.CTL - you have to 
use the NVRAM of your modem and just send ATZ as your init in OPUS.CTL.  I 
have not found a way around this yet.)   But other than the BBS to modem 
crap, everything else seems to work fine...
