absolutely! my entire main server still runs OS/2... up until a year or two
ago, it was running on Warp 3 Connect but now it is on eCS...

my original frontdoor/fastecho/remoteaccess multinode system is one of the jobs
that my main server has... along with apache, ftpserv, weasel for web, ftp and
email... there's also binkd, a jamnntpd server and at least 10 AI controllers
for my tradewars 2000 v3 gold games ;)
as for "useless" that depends on what one wants or needs to do... as a
multitasking OS it works very well for native OS/2 apps and DOS apps...
browsing the internet and stuff like that? i'd rather use another system simply
because of the possible dangers one might run into... i'd rather reload a
workstation than a server, ya know? ;)
