    Hi All,

    Ok, I gave up on VBox and serial ports and decided to revert back to my DOS WC!

    machine, just for the BBS, of course! Works great, too.

    Unfortunately, VBox is nice for somethings but others it just plain out is horrible! VMWare is not free so of course it works flawlessly... Right now I run 3 VM's for my 3 BBS' on 1 computer, I am considering buying VMWare just
    so I don't have to deal with any issues in the future...

    I would agree. I run my two OS/2 native systems under VirtualBox because VMware for some reason does not like ArcaOS or eCS for me. And a quick heads up, check ebay first for VMWare licenses so you don't spend and arm and a leg. That is where I bought all three of mine and they work perfectly.
