That should work.  Some people have problems with sio2k and os/2 
though.  I'd
suggest IREX instead of Frontdoor, personally.  It should still be
registrable, and the os/2 version isn't too buggy.  If you're using 
binkd and
fastecho, you really shouldn't need a front end, at least I don't with
windows.  Allfix works great for me for files as well.
