I've got OS/2 WARP 3 running        PCBoard sitting on a Windows 2008 R2 server as a guest VM. I no longer        have to worry about hardware. I only support telnet access.                     Jeff              CMPQwk 1.42-21 9999        Hope and change = $1T deficit and 10%+ unemployment .....              --- PCBoard (R) v15.3/M 10        * Origin: (1:226/600)    |
