Well I ran Maximus on OS/2 for many a year, then for a period of time used the Husky Utils, and when I needed a BBS again, I was on Linux, and the only package that delivereed, was MBSE, so I moved, and have not regreted it since. It has come a long way since version 0.17/18 when I started using it, and the current version 0.95. Had a few callers, and might again, and reliability is extremely good, it just keeps running, the only thing that stops it tossing msgs. once in a while is when the HDD gets full, which happens a little too often lately ... BTW, did you get my reply to your netmail? Russell --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5 * Origin: Rusty's BBS - Bloemfontein, Free State, South Africa (5:7105/1) .
