I went from DOS to Windows too, but in 1996 I experimented a bit with OS/2 becau
se I was curious about it. I could definitely see how it would have been nice t
o run a BBS in OS/2 (even a DOS BBS). I had also played a bit with Ray Gwinn's
SIO drivers, which allowed telnet access to a virtual serial port.. I tried set
ting up a copy of RemoteAccess (BBS software for DOS) with those SIO drivers and
was impressed that I could successfully telnet into it. I also looked into an
OS/2-native BBS package that I thought looked interesting (AdeptXBBS) but never
actually used it to run a BBS.
By that time though, Windows was the main OS I was using, and OS/2 was on its wa
y out, with not much software being made for it.
