eComStation is the SOHO distribution of OS/2, and after IBM stopped retail  
sales it is the only retail outlet for OS/2. I have one IBM WSeB and two  
eComStation systems, and they are basically identical except that eCS  
keeps getting updated. One eCS is running as an intranet server with JBoss  
among other things, but it is a rather modern system (AMD 2400+).

I think all pre-WSeB versions will run on a 386 processor, but one of the  
fixpacks changed the requirement to 486 because it started to use new  
instructions.
