Not me.

Might be a problem with net2bbs. I heard it's new. I think I'm supposed to
be beta testing it ... .

Try 

1. commenting-out "Uses TimeWarn" in Max.Ctl
2. delete \max\menus\*.mnu
3. silt max

Or a different telnet server.

Maybe include "cd " before launching the
BBS - Feels like the right thing to do.

 JB> Oh yes, and I have the folowing environment info in my start-up file:

 JB> === Cut ===

 JB> SET MAXIMUS=C:\MAX\MAX.PRM
 JB> BUFFERS=30
 JB> FILES=40
 JB> SET MEX_INCLUDE=C:\MAX\M;C:\MEXTEST

 JB> === Cut ===

I hope those were added to %SystemRoot%\System32\Config.Nt and Autoexec.Nt,
because nothing is read from C:\Config.Sys and Autoexec.Bat in WinNT 4+. 

Also BUFFERS= and FILES= should be separate from SET commands ie. in
different config/autoexec files.

You might want to add ansi.sys in there somewhere.
