It was a great BBS platform, I ran BinkleyTerm and Maximus on it. I was a 
Novell admin, and all of the utilities were console-based programs. OS/2 
could run consoles all day long, and give you a DOS window with a ton of 
RAM, since it virtualized all of the drivers.

Getting TCP/IP working alongside IPX/SPX finally forced me to ditch OS/2 and 
try this Windows NT thing at work.
