Can you think of any reason this wouldn't work on a DOS BBS running under OS/2?
I'll take a look at it this weekend.

That would be a great test! Let me know how it goes and if you have any questions or need any help!

I downloaded a copy; it appears that the issue will be that the bridge is Win32. OS/2 only natively supports Win16 apps. In theory it should be possible to create an OS/2 version of the bridge program. I'll have to look at the source code and see what I can do.
