Good luck.  I'd rather stick with OS/2 and Win3.11.  If you want
reliability,
stick with Warp 3.0 regular or connect.  You could also put Win95 on the
same partition with OS/2, dispite Micro$oft's stupid warnings.

DOS support is LOUSY compared to OS/2 or Win95, but it still runs.
Some Windows 3.x apps may not work though.  I was not thouroughly
pleased with NT 4.0 on my server, which is a P75 with 16MB of RAM.
