Not since my last eCS box was put to pasture. I haven't had an eCS box for over a year now. Now I enjoy hardware support ;-) Don't think that my almost 11 yrs with OS/2 aren't fondly remembered though. If it was supported as well as Linux I'd still be there, coz underneath it's still ahead of the time. It just got sick of wishing that I could use modern hardware without all the hassles.

I think you'll probably get less but I know there are often hassles I guess Project Voyager should be of interest to you ? (WPS on BSD base). Cheers/2 Ed. Kev wrote: > Well, no actually.
