Me too!  I have been a huge OS/2 fan from day one.  It still technically
runs my BBS nodes.  If there was one weak thing about it, that would be
it's lack of decent network abilities.  Fortunately that has gotten much
better these days thanks to Samba.

Most of the WWIV BBS related programs that we have converted to open source
was due to the original programmer leaving the scene.  They agreed to turn
it over and make it open source to prevent it from being
"abandonware".  

Basically, different situation since you obviously are very dedicated to
keeping D'Bridge going, which is fantastic!
