The board I'm typing this from was originally set up on desqview, running ¨three nodes and a local on a 40Mhz 386 with 32 MB of RAM. The only reason I ¨switched it to OS/2 is because getting fsxnet to work from a straight DOS ¨machine required a bunch of scripting on a linux middleman which I was able to ¨ditch when I moved to OS/2. I had made the same 'move' in the early 90s, ¨starting on DV and then moving to OS/2.
