That sounds like how I have OS/2 setup now. The VM answers the calls so I guess there is no way to get to the Windows host OS? Am I understanding this correctly?

Another good idea to research. I have SBBS running on the host machine now.
Never thought about using it as a frontend that would pass a telnet or ssh connection to a Windows 95 VM and loading RA. Thanks for your input!
