Please let us know how things go ... , as before, not had much luck or the 
time to play with DOSBOX ...

Am currently looking for time to test a PIII-500 that has come my way to 
replace the PI-200MMX that the BBS is currently running on, BIOS seems to be 
able to handle 120Gig HDD's which will help me set it up as a FTP server as 
well, but currently don't have the  time to test it for reliability ...

Well, I have a server with Dual-PIII-550's (Gateway mobo) that has a spare 
6gig. HDD waiting for first shot at Solaris ... , I am patiently awaiting it's 
arrival, but I use Linux in favour of FreeBSD, simply because the hardware 
support in Linux is better in my experience ...
