   Me too!  I have been a huge OS/2 fan from day one.  It still technically runs   
   my BBS nodes.  If there was one weak thing about it, that would be it's lack   
   of decent network abilities.  Fortunately that has gotten much better these   
   days thanks to Samba.

   Most of the WWIV BBS related programs that we have converted to open source   
   was due to the original programmer leaving the scene.  They agreed to turn it   
   over and make it open source to prevent it from being "abandonware".     
      
   Basically, different situation since you obviously are very dedicated to   
   keeping D'Bridge going, which is fantastic!
