I've got a MMM, and I've got mixed feelings about it. I bought it because I
figured it'd have better OS/2 support - well, kind of. No the voice mail stuff
is NOT OS/2, but Windows. If you don't have blue spine warp you *must* boot to
native dos & windows to install the windows/dos support. The OS/2 support that
does come with it, generally works pretty well, but is quite watered down from
the windows support/apps that it ships with. If you have an all OS/2 system,
that is, without windows support, you'll have to download certain replacements
for some of the installation routines, the midi files are all transfered with
a windows install app. The documentation sucks big time - whine and gripe,
whine and gripe. It's a pretty neat card and can do quite a bit, and if it
installs perfectly for you you'll like it. But it really comes across as a
windows piece of hardware with a few bones thrown towards OS/2. That's what's
dissapointing about it.
