Here are some of the systems that have OS/2 programs.  The University of 
Saskatchewan Opus (mine) allows first time callers to download the files.  
Some of the others may require "authentication" before people are allowed file 
downloading privileges.  These systems all talk 2400 baud and lower, and some
also handle 9600 baud.  They will accept fidonet "File Requests" if you 
have a "point kit" that generates those requests.  (An OS/2 version of the
point kit is available from these systems, but it ain't that easy to set up
for a novice).

NAME            NODE      TELEPHONE        Sysop           baud  Where
U of S Opus     1:140/43  (306) 966-4857   Kevin Lowey     2400  Saskatoon, SK
OHIOnet Express 1:157/512 (216) 241-6727   Dave Chatfield  2400  Cleveland, OH
Fernwood        1:141/209 (203) 483-0348   Emmitt Dove     9600  Branford CT.

The sysops can be reached via internet mail.  For example, to reach my
BBS, you can send mail to "SYSOP@f43.n140.z1.fidonet.org" or
"Kevin.Lowey@F43.N140.Z1.Fidonet.Org".  The sysops would be glad to provide
information on available files.

I'll also post much of my collection to Usenet once comp.binaries.os2 is 
created.
