|I don't think running DOS box communication software is a good idea for OS/2:
|the DOS box only runs while in the foreground. So, the moment you switch to
|OS/2, your BBS would be dead.
|Although you could use the OS/2 sessions for a few other tasks, I don't think
|it is worth the switch to OS/2. If you want to run an OS/2 BBS, the BBS
|software should run under OS/2 (e.g. Magnus).

  Where can I get hold of Magnus you mention above?  Is it ShareWare?  What
  are the licensing issues etc.
