   I ran OS/2 for almost 20 years.  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.

   Most of mine I've picked up over the years...they're little things but they    
   help.
