Argus, Radius and Taurus are all derived frm the same Delphi source code...
Delphi is pascal for the most part...
modem support has little to do with cross platform capability...

they're common enough... with the proper tool, pretty transparent, too...

freepascal is only a download away as is the lazarus RAD editor/environment...
lazarus can even convert some delphi projects to FP/Laz projects... the first
job of porting is to get FP/Laz to compile it... then one can work on porting
to *nix...

i started porting one of the above three mailers several years ago but RL got
in the way... i started off by manually translating the russian comments to
english first, one line at the time... i also have, somewhere around here,
partially translated taurus help files using the same technique... at that
time, babblefish was the translator to use...
