WWIV just released an update that added native OS/2 support back.

https://github.com/wwivbbs/wwiv/releases/tag/wwiv_5.7.1 is the URL to download
it. and http://docs.wwivbbs.org is the documentation.

It's new OS/2 code, so possibly buggy, consider it alpha quality, but it seems
to 
work well, and works with the telnet server (wwivd) just like Windows and Linux
does.

For DOS doors it includes a FOSSIL shim to use to handle int14 under DOS.

Feedback welcome.  Source at http://github.com/wwivbbs/wwiv
