Yep.  The current situation with rig control brings back nasty memories 
of DOS networking, and attempting to use the same network interface from 
multiple applications simultaneously (under DESQview).  And even with 
the shim that was supposed to make it work, it was about as stable as a 
house of cards in a hurricane. :) Also brings back memories of Wordstar 
and Word Perfect in DOS, where the application had to have its own 
driver for the printer (like today's control applications have to 
support the radio, rather than using an abstraction).

Upgrading to OS/2 20 years ago, and later Linux and Windows was a breath 
of fresh air, on this front (though Windows had many other issues that 
took longer to be addressed).
