this sounds like a problem with specific programs. There are plenty of
ways for programs to avoid using blocking calls, and plenty of ways to
avoid busy-waits

if the NTS stack + mIRC is giving you a problem, then I can assure you
has nothing to do with whether Turnpike (or indeed Connect) is a 32bit
program :)

>Anyone know if a OS2 version of TP is at all likely,

not in the slightest, sorry  ((and I've said the same thing to the other
four people who have asked for one)).

>Is OS2 still a non-supperted operating system for demon interent??

Demon do not support operating systems - they support network
connections and two particular network access suites ("KA9Q" and
"Turnpike")
