I don't have any real hardware to run OS/2, but I've discovered it
virtualizes pretty well. I have Warp 4 in a VM on my Macintosh, and on my PC
I have eComStation virtualized. They both work great. It's fun running a
native OS/2 BBS package, with OS/2 native mailer/tossers. Seems just as good
as any software out there now.
I'll definitely take you up on the config.sys tricks!
