You don't need Extended Edition if the only thing you want to do is interrupt-driven asynchronous communication. There is a COM-driver in OS/2 that you work when you write an asynchronous program. THe driver itself is interrupt-driven, so the application program don't need to worry about these things. There are plenty of asynchronous communication programs available for OS/2, both PM and text.
