I never actually saw OS/2 for myself back in those days. I went
straight from DOS/Win3.11 to Win95. I was only ever running a single
node when things were dialup so I suppose I didn't miss much. *shrug*

The only reason I ran it was we had it at work, and it was a "better DOS
than DOS" as they advertised. I was a Novell admin and needed to have lots
of DOS windows open to run the admin tools - as well as being able to load OS/2-level system drivers and have more memory inside of DOS.

What was wild was running DOS networking in a DOS VDM, using a virtual DOS 6.22 disk image with DOS network drivers. I'd run LANtastic in that window
and use it to connect with the BBS machine.

I think you accidentally cross-posted this in error. It looks like a discussion from, IIRC, FSXnet.

Just so you know... if you were expecting a response you may need to post
it again. :)
