-> no, i use SIO and Vmodem with both real serial ports and virtual
-> ports... with both DOS and native OS/2 programs...

Must work on ECS. But on Warp4, Vmodem gave me some dll error message
and failed to run.  I have a Warp4 test partion, maybe I can try again
when I get curious about it.

-> true... in many cases, folks have been spolied by the install and go
-> stuff... few really understand how it all works these days :/

The 32-bit, and now, 64-bit programming models are easier to work with,
no doubt.  But if you never experience the 16-bit DOS pain, you're not a
real programmer. :-)
