I'm guessing which group to put this in (so I chose .programming and
.networking)...


Is there any way I can operate with OS/2 booting and running off the network? 
ie have OS/2 on a diskless workstation.

Given the above, can I junk the windows and dos support? 

I read - sometime before - that OS/2 is used to run a network of ATMs (can't
remember which bank). Do they do it this way?

I am investigating if I can use OS/2 as the OS for a computational server node.
ie I put together a bunch of single board computers ([34]86 AT or EISA of course)
with networking cards with one of the single board computers acting as the file
server.

Thanks
