OS/2 2.0 supports CGA (although I would recommend buying a better video
card/monitor, but I do know that they are expensive).  Upgrade to OS/2 2.0
from Windows is reasonably priced -> $49.00 (and will include Windows 3.1
compatibility soon).  And yes, all DOS BBS software that I have tried works
fine under OS/2 2.0 (and it multitasks VERY well :)
