We don't offer doors so I can only give you a partial picture.  The 32-bit 
versions of Binkley and Maximus work with Windows NT v4.0 (I have only loaded 
the first 2 NT patch files).
The system is running using the standard NT comm driver (no FOSSIL).  About 
the only other thing I can tell you is that the only way I was able to get it 
working was to use "Spawn BBS" directive for Binkley.
That system is currently unavailable due to a power surge (we have really 
lousy electrical service here).  Once I get it back up I can try testing some 
things for you.

We started out using OS/2 v1.0 and finally dropped it about the time Windows 
95 came out.  Maybe we can get Gary to start another echo dedicated to the 
issues of running Maximus in "non-traditional" environments.
