      Hello Andrew,              08 May 18 00:01 at you wrote to me:               AH> I don't have any real hardware to run OS/2, but I've discovered it        AH> virtualizes pretty well.

The reasons why I took it down was my        personal situation will not allow me to put up an edge firewall device to        block script kiddies and I absolutely have to have SSH capability because I        travel a lot (in fact, I'm connected to my system via SSH right now). That        and I can run the BBS on more powerful hardware as I prefer real hardware for        the BBS.               AH> I'll definitely take you up on the config.sys tricks!              Most of mine I've picked up over the years...they're little things but they        help.              Later,       Sean              ... No matter how much you do, you'll never do enough.       --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: Outpost BBS * Limestone, TN, USA (1:18/200)    |
