Andrew has said he does not plan to fix the JAM support in SMAPI, which I 
think is a pity as most of the Fido BBS packages under Linux support the JAM 
msgbase, and it is only the Husky project which has proper and working Squish 
support. Only Linux BBS that I know that supports Squish is Mystic BBS, and 
James Coyle the developer of Mystic BBS wants to drop Squish support in 
favour of JAM.

ELE BBS might also support Squish, but I am not certain, no other 
possibilities I can think off.

For the above reasons I hope Andrew changes his mind.
