   absolutely! my entire main server still runs OS/2... up until a year or two   
   ago, it was running on Warp 3 Connect but now it is on eCS...   
      
    JD> This BBS runs the DOS version of Maximus on OS/2, on a Pentium, on my   
    JD> floor. I still like the OS, as useless as it might have become. :)   
      
   my original frontdoor/fastecho/remoteaccess multinode system is one of the   
   jobs that my main server has... along with apache, ftpserv, weasel for web,   
   ftp and email... there's also binkd, a jamnntpd server and at least 10 AI   
   controllers for my tradewars 2000 v3 gold games ;)   
      
   as for "useless" that depends on what one wants or needs to do... as a   
   multitasking OS it works very well for native OS/2 apps and DOS apps...   
   browsing the internet and stuff like that? i'd rather use another system   
   simply because of the possible dangers one might run into... i'd rather reload   
   a workstation than a server, ya know? ;)   
      
   )\/(ark   
      
   ... I'm too sexy for this conference...
