   JK>Not so good really. Motherboards of that vintage are 20 years old   
   JK>now. That exceeds the life expectancy of the electrolytic capacitors   
   JK>onboard. They can be replaced at small cost, if you can do the job   
   JK>yourself, but it requires steady hands and good eyesight.   
      
   I solved the problem by running OS/2 WARP as a guest operating system    
   under VMware's VM workstation product.  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.
