Yes... for me....  Bad for maximus development due to employment issues.

At this time there has been little interest in the maximus code development
under linux.  I believe no one at the time we last touched the code was
working on running DOS doors on a Linux system under DOS emulation.  And I
believe I've seen reference of problems with DOSEMU running under some of
the newer linux kernels, at least the last time I looked a few months
ago....  And some of the items I want to get running (beyound consolidating
the BBS to a Linux system running other items), tend to push the system
towards running a newer kernel....

Care to help with development?
