Me too!  I have been a huge OS/2 fan from day one.  It still technically runs
my BBS nodes.  If there was one weak thing about it, that would be it's lack of
decent network abilities.  Fortunately that has gotten much better these days
thanks to Samba.

Most of the WWIV BBS related programs that we have converted to open source was
due to the original programmer leaving the scene.  They agreed to turn it over
and make it open source to prevent it from being "abandonware".

Basically, different situation since you obviously are very dedicated to
keeping D'Bridge going, which is fantastic!
