- Are you able to get full speed (14.4kbps) sends from your DOS based BBS
- under OS/2 2.0? I agree that OS/2 2.0 is a much better multi-tasker than
- Desqview. I really like OS/2, but it's comm drivers suck for DOS programs.
- It has to do with a 1000 interrupt per second limit through the VDM IBM
- tells me. I have been running my DOS based BBS (Telegard) for a few months
- under OS/2 2.0 and it works OK except for high speed sends from my
- computer. They are too slow, only like 1200 cps.
