Me too!  I have been a huge OS/2 fan from day one.  It still technically runs 
my BBS nodes.  If there was one weak thing about it, that would be it's lack of 
decent network abilities.  Fortunately that has gotten much better these days 
thanks to Samba.

Most of the WWIV BBS related programs that we have converted to open source was 
due to the original programmer leaving the scene.  They agreed to turn it over 
and make it open source to prevent it from being "abandonware".  

Basically, different situation since you obviously are very dedicated to 
keeping D'Bridge going, which is fantastic!
