That would be an option if I didn't already have years of time invested in
my currently highly modded WWIV 4.24a.  I sort of like the nostalgia feel
from my system, including all the old messages dating back almost 20 years.
 

I have since decided to keep eComstation running in the VM with the SIO
drivers.  It does appear to be rock solid and should be future proof.  I
also tested eComstation running on VirtualBox.  It works great in that
environment, also - although, JFS file system only.  I think it has
something to do with the partition size of the VM.
