I am writting this to try and help other PCBoard sysops that might be
attemtping to run a multi-node PCBoard under OS/2.  It has taken me 8
months to get to this point and I am sure this file can save you alot of
headaches.

It is ASSummed that the reader of this .txt file has working knowledge
of OS/2 2.0 or OS/2 2.1

I currently run my BBS, ABSOLUT(e)LY TEMPORARY on a 486DX-33 with 16MB
of Ram memory.  2 Maxtor IDE drives, 1 345MB (7345) and 1 211MB (7213),
all formatted under HPFS.

ABSOLUT(e)LY TEMPORARY has 3 nodes. 2 live nodes, and 1 local for the
sysop, with U.S.Robotics Dual Standard modems on each live node.

This .txt file plus a few files you'll find included will show what I have
found to work for me.  For example, changes made to the OS/2 CONFIG.SYS
file, and DOS SESSION SETTINGS for those DOS FULL SCREEN (important that
the BBS sessions are FULL SCREEN and NOT WINDOWS), SESSIONS that the BBS
runs in.

I would also recommend the following book:

OS/2 2.1 UNLEASED

Rather than explain what was changed in my OS/2 config.sys, I will just
include mine in this .ZIP file.  (with comments).
