Thanks for sharing! OS/2 was awesome for sure. Did you run all those 8 nodes on a single 386?

  Yes, it was one node serving 8 lines (modems) connected by 8 port "Hydra" ISA board with 16850 FIFO UARTs. Binkley/2 could automatically distinguish between unattended mailer call or user call and spawned Maximus if user was there. My BBS was quite heavly loaded, all eight lines were busy quite often. One of the coolest thing about OS/2 2.x is that it was truely multitasking (pre-emtive multitasking), which allowed me to do some work on this same box in PM while it was serving users in background. :-)
