Iirc a friend of mine running multinode bink/max did
something like that for maint of some games and other bbs
stuff.  One node iirc was mailer the other node a wfc
maximus only.  During mail periods he'd have the wfc only
node doing some bbs maintenance tasks.  Horses for courses I guess
.  I think iirc he still did msg base maint etc. from the
binkley node's events.


HOwever, it's been a few years since I recall having
anything to do with his setup, although I did help him make
the switch to bink/max initially and ad doing the co-sysop
thing from remote for him for awhil after that.
