I went from DOS to Windows too, but in 1996 I experimented a bit with OS/2 because I was curious about it.  I could definitely see how it would have been nice to run a BBS in OS/2 (even a DOS BBS).  I had also played a bit with Ray Gwinn's SIO drivers, which allowed telnet access to a virtual serial port..  I tried setting up a copy of RemoteAccess (BBS software for DOS) with those SIO drivers and was impressed that I could successfully telnet into it.  I also looked into an OS/2-native BBS package that I thought looked interesting (AdeptXBBS) but never actually used it to run a BBS.

By that time though, Windows was the main OS I was using, and OS/2 was on its way out, with not much software being made for it.
