Works for me too, with the OS/2 stack.

I shan't stop using KA9Q/2 until I get a round tuit.  Before *I'd* be
happy with the WARPDIS scripts, I'd want (1) an SMTPD that spawns off
processes for each incoming connection; (2) a SMTP client that uses MX
resolution and sends directly to the target host, rather than relying
upon Demon's smarthost; (3) a few improvements in the NNTP client (which
escape me for the moment).

I've got all the ideas planned out: just never seem to have the time to
do it.  I've even got a REXX script running as a DNS resolver (which was
fun in itself, given that the data packets are binary, rather than the
ASCII familiar with protocols such as NNTP, SMTP, etc).

I've been thinking of trying that too: I got Aurora Beta, but in my case
it arrived at a totally useless time: 3 days before I wnet on Jury
Service, which finished just one week before the expiry time of the Beta.
So I never installed it.  I *was aware*, however, that the TCP/IP stack
therein can be installed independently, to get the upgrade that was
otherwise offered and withdrawn tout de suite by IBM :-)
