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 ... <sigh>

BTW, did you get my reply to your netmail?
