Maximus supports RIP...so does most BBS software I've used and seen
(Telegard, AdeptXBBS, Spitfire, RA, et al.) but rarely have seen anyone use
them.  I've found RIP to be very slow over telnet and quite frankly, I
think it's a pain in the ass to be locked in to certain terminal programs
to use it.  Just my opinion, of course, but even my board has a little ANSI
graphics in it.  I even went out of my way to make Maximus capable of
auto-detecting graphics upon logon (Maximus normally doesn't do that) so I
could use an ANSI logon screen, but that's as far as I go for graphics.

Later,
Sean
