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

Sorry for the dupe, this is going to your user name.
