One is probably OK for 6 months to a year staying with DOS 2.1.  After that,
there are simply going to be too many bells and whistles that software
developers are going to make use of.  Already there is the IBM PC Network.
There will be more.  While it may be prudent to hang onto DOS 2.1 until DOS 4.0
comes out if you are not networking, I wouldn't build any skyscrapers that
preclude advancing past DOS 2.1 unless your needs are just *totally* static.
