If you use NT, don't even consider using 3.1 -- it was a disaster.
If the BBS is DOS software, you might consider using OS/2 Warp.

P.S.  Moderator Hat On: Please don't use those funny non-ASCII characters 
when framing quoted portions of the message.  They will map strangely for 
readers who have non-English code pages active, and could greatly annoy 
readers who are not using IBM PC compatible systems at all.
