Yeah, OS/2 is definitely more established.

I was thinking earlier this evening, I remember trying a driver in OS/2 years ago to allow connecting to my DOS RemoteAccess BBS via telnet in OS/2.   I think that may have been a Ray Gwynn driver?  I was thinking earlier tonight it might be fun to set up my old DOS RemoteAccess BBS in an ArcaOS VM with that driver and set up a telnet gateway door in my current BBS to connect to it.
I had previously started to work on setting up my RemoteAccess BBS as a door, which might work similarly though.
