I just picked up a used copy of OS/2 1.0 at a computer store for $50
<figured I couldn't go wrong!> 
I'm wondering how much upgrades are.  I know there used to be a free
upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1 but since there is 1.2 out now, this offer is
probably gone.  How much would an upgrade be to 1.2?  Would it be best
to wait for version 2.0 before I upgrade?
This version is marketed by Dell.
 
I'm interested in running a multi user BBS with OS/2, does anyone know of
any packages?   
  
And one more thing...Where is a good FTP site to get OS/2 software?  
Will any of it work with 1.0?  I guess I will need a terminal program
for OS/2 as well, unless OS/2 will read from a DOS partition or from
DOS formatted floppies???
  
Thanks,
Charles
